That was really interesting. They shoud add a 100m zig-zag at the Olympics. Would be fun to watch.

[@sr36511]

***** 100m would be a bit too long for the explosiveness involved in zig-zagging, 60-80m would be more realistic if they're going full pace.

[@kninez13]

+Janice Erhunmwunsee It seems you didn't get the joke. It was kind of racist too. He was saying how blacks are usually the sprinters and whites are smarter/the scientists. In this case he was pointing out that they weirdly found a white sprinter and it's a black scientist doing the tests so you saying "I'm black and I'm the fastest girl on the track team" makes his point. lol

Cowards like yourself can't ever owe up to your actions, and always try to deflect any criticism. Just because one foolish girl likes your joke doesn't mean that she speaks for the community.

[@TheRiisingSun]

The most impressive thing here was clearly the sprinter almost beating Ronaldo without wearing cleats. That's some insanely efficient zig zagging!

[@soshianceyavari4892]

It's more impressive that Ronaldo nearly matched the sprinter in a straight line dash. Especially since his form was lacking a few tweaks that would have put him in the lead if rectified.

[@greenfox2005]

Soshiance Yavari It was only 25 metres.

[@IwontSay]

Soshiance Yavari Dude 0,3 s diffrence in 25m is alot. 25m x 4 = 100m 0,3 x 4 = 1,2s he runs a 10.40? so that means Ronaldo only runs a 11.60. And he even got an advantage over the sprinter because hes wearing better shoes for acceleration rofl.

[@poliei2]

***** You can't calculat this way. At start, he lose time because he must push on his body to the tempo. The second 25 meter are faster because he has a "flying start" for this.

[@MitchL17]

Marco Gotze look, I'm a track athlete, and Cristiano can`t sprint for shit, he has high stride frequency, but ZERO displacement, and what about his form... absolutely HORRIBLE. With that 25m time (where he pretty much gained his top end speed while the sprinter was still accelerating) he can't run sub-11.

I think it was good they let them keep the shoe they were most used to and most comfortable in because you're going to run better in the shoe you normally run in.

Are you kidding? He lost by .3 on 30 meters, which translates into over a second in 109 meters. Given Ronaldo's lousy form and short stride, it would likely be much more. Ronaldo would have a tough time breaking 11.5. He's a great footballer, but he's out of his league in sprinting.

Chaos No, not even close. In a track 100m race an American football player in the speedier positions would crush any soccer player. Most of those guys train as pure power athletes, and come from a track background. Good NFL guys had 10.xx type times to their name. Now, that is not to say soccer players are inferior athletes; they just don't have the same training emphasis. Soccer is a balance if agility, speed, and endurance; football is nothing but pure power and speed. Have that NFL runningback play 45 min of soccer and do the same race again...and NFL player gets creamed.

[@AgencyEric]

***** Some of what you say is true, but the idea that Chris Johnson's speed is comparable to Bolt is like saying a hare can hang with a cheetah. It's not close Bolt runs 100m (notably longer than 100 yards). He has covered that in 9.58 seconds, which would be 40m in 3.83! Now convert that for yards and you get....3.50!! To make it even more lopsided, the combine uses hand timing, whereas electronic timing is used in sprint races. The typical conversion from a hand time to FAT is .2, so Bolts combine 40 yard would be 3.3 seconds. Now, you might be tempted to say well the first part of the sprint is the slowest because of acceleration, but if you look up Bolts actual splits he covered the first 40m in 4.3 seconds, which converted to yards and -.2 for FAT gives a 40 yard combine time of 3.74.

You guys dont seem to understand how much 3/10 of a second is on a 25 meter dash.. The sprinters PB is 10.14 and assuming his time with these trainers at 100m would be about 10.5 seconds Ronaldo would still be way above 11 seconds on the 100m dash. He loses 0.3 secs on 25m, so lets estimate he´d be losing at least 1.2 seconds on 100m (probably even more than that) which would be about 11.7 seconds, which is not extremely fast for a soccer player. I can't listen to those comparisons between sprinters and soccer players anymore. Soccer players just cannot keep up with straight line sprinters.

the fastest football players probably can do a low 11s 100 metres.

The fastest I ever ran a 100 metres was 11.6 and I don't do as much training as these players do, i trained for sprinting but not as much as these players do. I'm saying that Mbappe or someone like that would get a low 11 time and maybe even break 11 seconds with proper sprint training.

This has got to be the dumbest comparison ever. Take one of the best players in FIFA wearing spikes and pit him against....uh.... an unranked, unknown "sprinter". The test is flawed and the comparison just makes this whole page ripe for argument. How about a world class sprinter vs a world class soccer player? ....or world class NFL star? If they kept the bar the same this discussion would be over in a heartbeat. Even the comparison of a 3.3 vs.3.6. That's blowout.

[@himuyashiro8218]

first test was about just running, surely both of them have tried that before, but for the second test, seems like the sprinter did not have experience with before, so he did not know the better way to run through it. still ronaldo is fast but i think the sprinter could have won if he trained for the second test too

[@purpleblueunicorn]

I think he would have won if he had spikes like Ronaldo. This makes a huge difference. I want to see a rematch!

[@moritzpbbarvencik]

Ronaldo doesn't train 100m sprints. They are useless for football.

[@purpleblueunicorn]

Bernd Bananenbieger I was talking about the zig zag race. I'm sure the sprinter would have won if he had spikes instead of flat shoes. Ronaldo had much better grip with his soccer shoes.

[@moritzpbbarvencik]

[@purpleblueunicorn]

Bernd Bananenbieger fair enough

[@jpb416]

Wait, why is the sprinter wearing conventional running shoes while CR gets to where cleats doing the zig-zag course? In that case CR has a huge advantage over the sprinter!

[@barryhains]

Did anyone else notice Ronaldo slowed down towards the end while the sprinter carried on sprinting(which was the right thing to do). Ronaldo wasn't wearing spikes. Ronaldo's sprinting is raw and is not refined like Rodriguez's. I'm talking about the motion and form of his body while sprinting. And still he came really damn close to the professional sprinter. Good stuff.

TopazTerraria Doesn't matter. Not to burst your bubble, but you'll never be faster than a black person(West African) of your equivalent tier of skill-set/gift. Also, 5 is such a paltry number that you can't seriously use it. Black people often have more fast twitch muscles, a higher center of gravity, and a longer achilles tendon, all of which no amount of work can make up for. The advantage given by this is humongous. This is why black athletes can perform explosive movements easier such as running faster, jumping higher, etc.

[@ChickenNoodle883]

Ronaldo is quite fast especially when you consider how inefficient his sprinitng technique is. By changing his technique, he would get a much faster time. Ronaldo's technique is helpful for soccer though because having your arms out is typical to hold off opponents and for maintaining balance while having to change directions or absorb contact. Ronaldo is actually better build than the pro sprinter for sprinting. He's taller and more muscular. They should do a video where Ronaldo learn and do sprinters form and see what time he gets.

[@AM-qg9wk]

Its football

[@youbetzler]

.3 seconds is hardly a narrow loss over 25. The sprinter was always going to win that race. It'd be a different story after 80 minutes of aerobic activity though Ronaldo would cream him.

[@earljellicoe5732]

There are so many myths and bullshit surrounding how fast footballers are. Most would struggle to break 12 seconds in the 100m, the fastest would be low 11s, the only ones running in the 10s would be people who crossed over from doing track. Most footballers guesstimate their times based on what they did as a kid which is dubious at best. As for the brass tax, Theo Walcott's only confirmed time is a hand timed 11.58 as a 14 year old. That's moderately quick, but since a lot of British kids who run quicker than that then actually keep training as sprinters as adults and struggle to get in the low to mid 10s, it's dubious to just presume Walcott must be loads quicker now. Also there is absolutely no evidence that Gareth Bale ran 11.4 as a kid, again the only confirmed times he ran are 2 min 24 in the 800m and 4min 59 in the 1500m set in 2002. Everything else is just rumours and guessing. Also the quickest sprinters in the NRL did a 100m race, proper on track with spikes, the winning time was 11.1, and rugby league players are a lot more explosive and powerful than footballers.

[@whodat6836]

well said

[@jordanmathers3710]

+Earl Jellicoe that wasn't the fastest NRL (Rugby League) players though, the fastest NRL players are guys like James Roberts and Marika Koroibete and they both run it at about mid 10"s Koroibete is about a 10.6-10.5 and I'd say Roberts is about a 10.4

[@whodat6836]

I believe that's what he means as myths. Is there anything to confirm those times for those nrl players?

[@jordanmathers3710]

who dat they have probably done timed sprints, but a lot of it is recorded on what they have done in game, like how many k/ph they hit while sprinting, Koroibete even hit the equivalent of a 10.36 in a rainy game with a torn up ground

[@ZPSBestProfileName]

Ronaldo's running form is good for football. It takes into account when he has the ball. I am a former sprinter and I played football a lot - it often fucked with my running form and slowed me down, but made me faster with the ball due to shorter strides.

[@soccerpro1251]

gareth bale tested to the limites

[@NT-fb6ow]

0.3 seconds over that distance is massive, he's pretty slow.

[@NT-fb6ow]

***** 0.3 over 25 meters is equivalent to 1.2 seconds over 100 meters, if you know anything about sprinting you would know that is huge.

[@KX5Kat]

Don't pretend to be an expert when you're quite clueless. You can't extrapolate the 0.3sec difference to be 1.2sec for 100m (even if you did add 1.2sec to Rodriguez's 10.14PB, 11.34 is still damn quick for someone who isn't a sprinter and pretty decent for an amateur sprinter). The 10m splits in a 100m are totally different, depending on the part of a race, Bolt did 10m-20m in 0.99sec and 60m-70m in 0.81sec, huge difference. Furthermore, certain sprinters, like Powell and Brommel, specialize in acceleration while guys like Bolt and De Grasse specialize in speed maintenance and max velocity. This test focuses purely on acceleration thus gives Ronaldo an advantage.

[@therealg4197]

@@KX5Kat there is no “specialize” those guys just have better acceleration but bolt has a very high top end speed and he can hold it for long . I think that 1.2s is very generous

[@tassop1128]

I did not said I run 11 seconds, I said my PR is OVER 11 seconds, I run 30m at 3.3 seconds counted on a hand timer, how could I test my time on 30m else? And bolt despite of being very tall and heavy and with terrible techinique in the first metres runs faster than me ofcouse! I highly doubt that the equipment they use in this "test" is even legit.

[@joaquimdelsantos3540]

whats your pr in the 200m? im 100m sprinter and i have 3.93 at 30m and i have 10.91s at the 100m. how can u be a 200m(wich u are less explosive then the 100m runners), have a pr over 11 not sub 11 and record a 3.30s in the 30m dash?! your hand timer must be broken... u should be running the 100m alot more faster than u do and u would be an 100m spinter too.

Usain Bolt isn't the only great sprinter. There are many other who run sub 10sec. So why a noname sprinter? To don't let ronaldo looks bad in comparison?

[@momozay243]

What? didn't understand some of the things you said. Bolt isn't the only fast sprinter yes that's true. The only problem is Bolt hasn't been caught with PED's yet. That's the problem modern sprinters are facing, some are just caught with PED's like: Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay. Both fast guys, but they`ve been caught. Bolt was almost caught too, they have to prove it though

[@Kirihigo]

i asked why they took a noname sprinter in the video. Maybe to give ronaldo a chance. Nothing more. About PED's it's a different story but you have to distinguish between sprinters. Also between Gay and Powell. For example Powell took oxilforin which helps you to burn fat and it is found in many medicines but it's not a performance enhancer. You have to take an extremly dose of it to enhance your perfomance and this isn't possible. It's like drinking to much coffee. Why should he take it on purpose? He often mentioned it. You can easy caught oxilforin. So it doesn't make sense. Unlike Tyson Gay he took steroids on purpose. He admit it and that's the point of the distinction. About Bolt, to be honest i don't know if he take PED's or not but jamaicas doping controlls aren't the best.

In 2013 there are almost two hundred sprinters sub 10.30! www.iaaf.org/records/toplists/sprints/100-metres/outdoor/men/senior/2013. And Ronaldo was beaten by this guy!!!

[@danielmarin4799]

Rodriguez is the most succesful spanish sprinter nowadays. He is the national record holder for 100m (10.14) and 60m (6.55). A journalist said that Ronaldo could beat any Spanish sprinter because our country has very little sprinting tradition and genetics, but actually he would be struggling for a sub 11.50 in 100m. He is a great footballer and very strong but not a great runner. Don't try to teach an athlete how to run!!!!

[@petrsoucek3811]

Daniel Marín OK, sounds you know what are talking about. I couldn't find such data (10.14, 6.55) but he is definitely better than I thought (according to wiki). But it doesn't matter because substantial is that Ronaldo wasn't able to beat Rodriguez (he was far from it). I think Ronaldo would be able to run around 11.00 and it would be interesting to make contest between him and top female sprinter. But it could really harm his ego if he would lose :-)

Sorry, but no NFL player is beating a sprinter in any race, especially in one where they have to react to a gun (they'd get left at the starting line). NFL 40yd dash times are hand timed (i.e. really inaccurate) and the clock starts based on their movement. Sprinting is an entirely different game.
