“The race will be over quick.”
Well, that’s generally the idea of a sprint…
British sprinter, Richard Kilty, is not happy with how the media are portraying Hector Bellerin’s running abilities and, in a bid to shut everyone up, he has offered to race the Arsenal full back to show he’s not all that. And he’s lumped poor Theo Walcott in there too for no apparent reason.
Bellerin is said to have run 40 metres in 4.42 seconds and people are getting a little carried away with themselves suggesting he would beat Usain Bolt over the same distance.

But one athlete took exception to the reports and he’s looking to quash them all with one simple solution.
A race.
Richard Kilty, a 60-metre world champion, has called out both Bellerin and Walcott and offered them on in a battle of speed, across any distance, to show that they aren’t all that when it comes to shifting their feet.
For some reason though, he thought that £30,000 would entice the footballers out of hiding when the pair wipe their arses with that sort of pocket change.
media claiming @HectorBellerin can run 4.42 over 40m. Absolutely no way. Are these journalists complete morons!

I will put £30,000 on the line to race @HectorBellerin & @theowalcott any sprint distance, any time, any place, anywhere

The race will be over very quick. So if they put their money down I will gladly show everyone they can not sprint as fast as the media claim

You heard him, lads. “Any place, anywhere.”
