Bolt has commented on Ronaldo previously, stating that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner would even beat him in a race. Bolt is an eight-time Olympic gold medal winner, and most famously set a world record in the 100m event, running at the World Championships in 2009 with a time of 9.58 seconds. With his incredible career, he has immortalised himself as the fastest man alive.

Bolt took to Instagram to share his praise for Ronaldo, writing:

Ronaldo is considered one of the greatest soccer players of all time, alongside Argentine forward Lionel Messi. The pair's performances over the years have sparked a widespread debate on who the best player in the world is.

In an interview on The Fix podcast, Bolt felt he could've reached new heights by breaking his own world record.

“If I hadn’t got injured in the season [2011], I would have broken the record again,” he insisted. “That year, I was floating. I was running very well and the coach was excited. It was the first time I heard him say we were going to race and break the world record,” said Usain Bolt

He was also asked if anyone could ever break the record, to which he replied:

"Anything is possible. Track and field is evolving fast with the new spikes, everything changes. It’ll take some work but records are records."

Bolt retired from the sport in 2017 and is regarded as the greatest sprinter ever. He has since ventured into different industries and sports, even taking trials at professional soccer clubs.
