EIGHT-TIME OLYMPIC gold medallist Usain Bolt made a statement at Mercedes-Benz Stadium ahead of Super Bowl LIII.
Wearing just sweats and sneakers, Bolt casually ran a 40-yard dash as part of a promotional event with Puma, and in the process he matched the fastest time in NFL Combine history.
The 32-year-old retired Jamaican sprinter is not showing any signs of slowing down as he ran a time of 4.22 seconds, which matched the all-time fastest mark set by Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross in 2017.
