World-renowned boxing champion Mike Tyson once challenged China’s toughest fighter via Weibo. Similarly, Jamaican sprinting legend Usain Bolt took to Weibo to challenge China’s buses.
Racing against humans no longer excites the “fastest man alive.” A few days ago in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Bolt raced an express bus over 80 meters and won easily. But the challenges didn’t stop there—he issued a new “man vs. machine” invitation: “Is there a Chinese bus that wants to race me?” In response, a female bus driver from Dalian directly challenged Bolt, saying she might not stand a chance at 100 meters, could compete at 200 meters, but would definitely beat him at 300 meters.
Netizens expressed great anticipation and suggested Bolt hold a tour to challenge legendary buses across China. Some joked that Wuhan bus drivers are like F1 racers and could easily outrun Bolt. According to Modern Express
[Netizen Comments]
Alive_vs_Zombies: The race track must be on Chang’an Avenue or the West Second Ring Road, and the time should be 8 a.m. on a Monday or 6 p.m. on a Friday. Bolt-simida, that’s all the help I can give.
FiveStarNightOwl: China’s traffic is too jammed—Bolt would probably finish the race before the bus even starts.
ForlPartyForgive_Yd: Wuhan bus drivers refuse to back down and challenge Bolt to a showdown in River City (Wuhan)!
DG_BrokenSword_II: That’s not so impressive—people in big cities can often outrun buses during rush hour.
EarlyToBedEarlyToRise_LuZixi: Mom, I don’t have to worry about missing the bus anymore.
WY0379: Luoyang buses will let you go 5 seconds ahead.
ElevenLiang: If it’s a 10-km race, you could stop at the finish line, wash the bus, and still wait for him.
WolfSmoke: How about Bolt racing a Chinese motorcycle taxi? Reported by intern Rao Wenjia
