Kylian Mbappe is considered one of the most furious forwards of the modern generation. The 24-year-old Frenchman has been a nightmare for his opponents every time he steps on a soccer field. His ability to score from different parts of the field has been the USP of the footballer for the longest time. Mbappe recently stunned spectators when he clocked an impressive 10.9 seconds for a 100-meter distance during a soccer game.

Well, that might seem like an incredible sprinting record, but the reality might be completely different. The 10.9-second record for a 100-meter dash can be easily matched by some of the most famous female track and field names. They can eat the record in a jiffy while leaving no crumbs. Let’s dive in and discover some of the track and field names that can effortlessly match the record without any difficulty.

Track and field titans who have mastered it time and again

It was revealed in a YouTube video posted by Total Running Productions on their channel that Mbappe has an incredible record under his name. In the same video, his record was compared with that of some female track runners, where he placed in 13th place behind names like Sha’Carri Richardson, Shericka Jackson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, etc. To begin with the list, it has Jamaica’s sprinting icon Jackson, who has already clocked a blazing speed of 10.65 seconds. American sprinting prodigy Sha’Carri Richardson also clocked the same time this year when she won the 100-meter world title in Budapest. Some other significant names that make it to the list are Marie-Josee Ta Lou with 10.75 seconds, Jamaican legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce with 10.77 seconds, her compatriot, and the fastest 100-meter female runner alive, Elaine Thompson-Herah, who also makes it to the list with 10.79 seconds.

Julien Alfred and Twanisha Terry (10.83 seconds), Dina Asher-Smith and Natasha Morrison (10.85 seconds), Aleia Hobbs (10.86 seconds), Tamari Davis and Shawnti Jackson (10.89 seconds), and Brittany Brown with a 10.90-second finish are also ahead of Mbappe in the list. This is not the first time a sprinter was compared with a footballer for his pace on a soccer field. Usain Bolt, arguably the biggest name in track and field history, once claimed that a Manchester United forward could beat him in a 20-yard dash.

Is it even humanely possible to beat Usain Bolt in a sprint?

Usain Bolt’s love for football and his bond with Manchester United are not hidden; he shares a great camaraderie with some of the club’s biggest names, of which Marcus Rashford tops the list. During an interview, Bolt made the shocking statement that Rashford could outpace him in a 20-yard dash. The statement came while the Jamaican superstar was participating in the Soccer Aid match.

However, he also added that the English footballer could take him down in the initial few seconds, but after that, “it’s over for him,” he said. The comparison among players from different domains has become frequent with the modernization of sports. However, it should also not be overlooked that the athletes are specially trained for the sport that they play at the highest level.
