'I'd rip my hamstring!' - Usain Bolt hilariously reveals the shocking time he would run if he returned to track for one last hurrah
Usain Bolt has revealed the time he would probably run if he returned to the track for one last hurrah.
“Elevated the game to another level,” Bolt posted on X following his meetup with Ronaldo.
Popularly known as “R9”, Ronaldo dazzled fans with his football talents for both club and country, winning the World Cup with Brazil in 1994 and 2022, becoming top scorer in the latter edition staged in Japan and South Korea.
Nicknamed Le Fenomeno (the phenomenon), Ronaldo was an extremely powerful, fast, and technical player, with excellent movement as well as being a composed finisher.
He could use both feet, despite being naturally right footed, and is considered one of the most skillful dribblers in the game, going on to play for PSV Eindhoven before switching to Barcelona, where he played for one season and then Inter Milan.
Ronaldo was part of the first Galacticos at Real Madrid when he joined the Spanish giants in 2022, linking up with the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo, David Beckham although the team managed just one league title during his five years at the club.
He was named World Player of the Year three times and also won the Ballon d’Or Award twice.
