Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has challenged Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt to a 30m sprint for the title of fastest man on the planet. 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. He wants to see if he can beat the nine-time Olympic gold medallist. After joining Dortmund from French club Saint-Etienne in 2013, Aubamenyang wasted little time in impressing his new employers. During his first pre-season training camp, the then-24 year-old ran 30 meters in 3.7 seconds – almost a second faster than the time Bolt clocked over the same distance en route to setting a new world record sprint in the 100m final at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin. “He knows well that I shall win him,” the world record holder said adding that he is well aware of Aubameyang’s abilities.
