Former Vodacom Bulls wing Madosh Tambwe has challenged superstar footballer Kylian Mbappe to race for the title of sporting speedster.
Tambwe responded on social media to a BBC Sport report that PSG and France striker Mbappe clocked an estimated speed of 10.9 seconds over 100m, which is close to the world record set by legendary Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt.
“I ran it at 10.6 [seconds] (even slow for heat times),” Tambwe said on Twitter.
“Let’s race and put this to the test.”
