[Sports News]The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) recently posted on social media, mentioning that French star Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain ran the 100-meter distance in about 10.9 seconds during the competition, which was only faster than track and field. The time of 9.58 seconds held by Usain Bolt, the world record holder in the 100 meters, was more than a second slower. The comparison aroused heated discussion among netizens, and World Athletics posted a response on social media, showing that the comparison was intended to satirize the BBC.
McBabi scored twice in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 on Tuesday to help Paris Saint-Germain defeat Real Souza 2:1 as a guest. They eliminated their opponents 4:1 in two rounds. The BBC later posted on social media McBabi’s time was just over one second slower than Porter’s world record.”
The post immediately aroused heated discussion among netizens. Some people commented that one second is a long time in the world of sprinting. They pointed out that McBaby’s time would be the last in the 100-meter finals of track and field, and even female sprinters ran faster. McBride is faster, so the comparison is inappropriate. However, some netizens “defended” McBaby, pointing out that he is a football player rather than a track and field athlete. They praised his speed and believed that if he focused on training speed, he might be faster than 9 seconds 58. Some netizens later added additional content, saying that when McBaby was running, he reached the highest speed during running to complete 100 meters, which cannot be compared with the stationary squatting start of track and field to complete 100 meters.
The World Athletics Federation posted on social media two days later, posting photos of two Jamaican female sprinters, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (best time 10.60 seconds) and Shericka Jackson (best time 10.65 seconds) covering their mouths and smiling after the race. A screenshot of a BBC post with the words: “10.90? That’s cute” and a smiley face emoticon, which is very ironic. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce also left a message later, leaving two “laughing so hard” emojis. Checking the records, the current world record for women’s 100 meters is 10.49 seconds. The times of the above two Jamaican female trapeze women are the third and fifth fastest in history respectively. As for the men’s 100 meters, according to the world track and field record, to enter the top 100 men’s 100 meters dash, you must run at least 9.94 seconds. In addition, the Hong Kong record for the men’s 100 meters is 10.28 seconds, a record jointly held by Xu Zhihao and Wu Jiafeng.
