Usain Bolt Open to Sprint Duel with Armand Duplantis

Usain Bolt against Armand Duplantis in a sprint duel? The world's fastest man of all time does not close the door for a meeting against the Swedish-American pole vault star. I can take him, says Bolt to Aftonbladet.

”Mondo” Duplantis surprised when he easily beat the Norwegian Karsten Warholm on 100 meters with the impressive time 10.37 last autumn.

Bolt still holds the world record with 9.58.

It's going to be even, but I think I can beat his 10.37, says Bolt, but not now:

Maybe in a year. I would have needed to train, get in good shape and so on.

Who does Duplantis himself think would win?

Definitely me, actually. I don't think he is in the same shape as he was ten years ago if I'm going to be completely honest, he says to Aftonbladet.
