Usain Bolt has been challenged to a 30m sprint by Borussia Dortmund striker by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who wants to see if he can beat the nine-time Olympic gold medalist.

Aubemayang recorded a message which was shown to Bolt, who is going to train with Dortmund at some point next year, in an interview with CNN.

'I am waiting, man,' Aubameyang said. 'I want to do that race, I want to see how I am because everybody says I am fast but I don't think so.

'I hope to see you one day, I want to do this challenge.'After watching the footage, Bolt said: 'Yeah, he knows I'm going to win.'Bolt has never made a secret of his love for football and is a Manchester United supporter. 

It was confirmed by Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke in mid-November that Bolt will train with the German club next year.

'We decided this some time ago,' Watzke said. 'Puma CEO Bjorn Gulden who is member of our board has told us that Usain is highly interested in practising with us.

'For us that's no problem. Our coach Thomas Tuchel likes the idea as well.'Of course he won't visit us in an important week with Champions League matches, but maybe in the pre-season. We are delighted and take this as an honour.' Mail Online
