Running Lessons
Cristiano Ronaldo will be getting running lessons from World and Olympic 100m Champions Usain Bolt!
The world player of the year and the world's fastest man are to meet in the summer, when Bolt is in Europe competing on the Grand Prix and Golden League circuit and preparing for the World Championships, which take place in Berlin in August.
The Jamaican, who struck 100m, 200m and 4 x 100m relay gold in world record times at the Beijing Olympics last August, is likely to be based for the European outdoor season in London.
"It's definitely going to happen," said his manager Ricky Simms yesterday. "We'll sort something out this summer when Usain comes to Europe."
The alliance is no corporate sportswear stunt – Ronaldo is a Nike man, Bolt a Puma athlete. It has come about because Bolt is a big Ronaldo fan. In his home at Trelawny Parish in Jamaica he has a room full of signed football shirts, but not one with the imprint of his favourite player.
