Well its not athletics specific kind of entry, but related …

But I was wondering how fast is Cristiano Ronaldo, the best winger in the world currently.

We all know he got quick feet and acceleration on the field, but can he hack it if he were to run alongside sprinters.

Well it’s been claimed he can:

• Run 100m flat out in 10.3 seconds
• Run the mile in 5:23 (When he was a teen)
• Accelerate up to 23mph (37km/h)

Well now, those claims are really off the charts eh. Don’t really know the truth to it, but to compare, Donovan Bailey once ran the 100m in 9.84 seconds. Thats 10.16 m/s or 36.59 km/h.

However this is the average, not the top speed. Sprinters are known to ran faster and slower for different parts of the sprint phase.

Well here’s a video I found online of Cristiano Ronaldo soccer boots commercial, where he race against the most powerful car on road, the Bugatti Veyron. I don’t know how true the extend of the advertisement is, but Cristiano Ronaldo beat the car to the line.

So what do you think. How fast is Cristiano Ronaldo?
