Once outperformed Bolt! US 1.80 meter rugby star: If he sticks to track and field sprinting, he will win the Olympic gold medal

On May 10, Ted Ginn, a receiver for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL), said in an interview with TMZ Sports: "I met Usain Bolt. , beat Bolt in running competitions in high school. All the top athletes who have won Olympic gold medals from 2004 to now, I basically competed with them in high school. ”

Gene is special. A side note: If he had stuck with track running instead of playing rugby, he would have definitely won an Olympic gold medal in sprinting.

Ted Jean was born on April 12, 1985. He is more than one year older than Bolt. He is 180cm tall and has physical conditions suitable for sprinting. Jim was an outstanding track and field athlete on the school team in high school. Defeated the school team led by Bolt in a 4×100 meter relay race.

When he arrived at university, Gene ranked among the top college students in the United States. He ran a 100-meter race of 10.20 seconds as a freshman. After that, he gave up his track and field career to pursue football. Ginn claimed that his fastest 40-yard dash time was 4.22 seconds, but he reportedly ran in 4.28 seconds while playing at Ohio State.

In February last year, Bolt attended a business event in Atlanta, USA, and easily ran the 40 yards in 4.22 seconds without wearing spikes. The result was only one second faster than the world record of 4.12 seconds set by American Coleman. 0.1 seconds slower. This is a result achieved by Bolt after two years of retirement without high-intensity training. His sprinting ability is far stronger than Gene's.

Bolt holds the world record for men's 100 meters (9.58 seconds) and 200 meters (19.19 seconds). He has won 8 gold medals in the Olympic Games and 11 gold medals in the World Championships. He is the greatest sprinter in the world. Gene Even if he has been practicing track and field sprinting, his talent and strength are not as good as Bolt. Judging from his early track and field and 40-yard results, his ultimate level of 100 meters is around 9.90 seconds. It will be difficult to win the gold medal in the Olympics. He can only hit it. Silver or bronze medal.

The American NFL has many athletes with excellent sprint speeds. The most famous one is Marvin Blasey, who has amazing explosive power. His best time for 100 meters is 9.93 seconds. He once represented the United States in the Rio Olympics. In 2017, he said goodbye to track and field and switched to rugby. In the past three years, his results were not outstanding. This year, he switched back to track and field sprinting. It seems that there is a big difference between rugby and sprinting.
