Mayer challenges Mbappé for "a duel over 100m"

2020-07-15T15:06:44.017Z


The world record holder for the decathlon has launched an unprecedented bet for the world champion of Paris SG.


A nice wink. And a race that could make you smile. Asked by France Football, about the explosiveness and the speed of Kylian Mbappé, the decathlon recordman challenged the world champion of Paris SG. "Should we try, right (to run 100m)?" Before challenging the sprinters, a footballer should first try to beat a decathlete. A duel over 100m is clearly a challenge that I am launching there. You should try ... I'm not necessarily saying that Kylian is not going to beat me! I say he will never beat real sprinters. I think it is far from it. Afterwards, if he proves me otherwise, so much the better ... (laughs) ”.

In the interview-decryption he delivers on the 21-year-old striker, Kevin Mayer admits to being in love. “He runs a little better than the others, that's for sure. After that, I wouldn't go so far as to say that his running technique is perfect because he is still far from what a real sprinter can do (laughs) . But it's still quite a gift, when you're not working on your stride, to run as well. What impresses me is when it poses an acceleration and the difference it creates. Sometimes it makes me want to play soccer to put down accelerations like that in the midst of people not as good as me (laughs) . It must be really pleasant for him to have so much room. ” The bet is launched.
