Jonah Lomu, the All Blacks legend, was once regarded as the fastest rugby player on the planet—but could he hold his own against sprinting icon Usain Bolt in a 100m dash?
Back in October 1998, a study revealed Lomu's top speed at a blistering 10.6 meters per second, translating to around 22.3mph. Not bad, right?
But the real question is, could this rugby giant give Bolt, the fastest man in history, a run for his money?
Jonah Lomu vs Usain Bolt: Who Wins?
While Lomu was far from ordinary, matching up against the Jamaican legend might be another story. Using Lomu’s top speed, his 100m time has been calculated.
- #2 Jonah Lomu: 10.82 seconds
- #1 Usain Bolt: 9.58 seconds
It's clear Lomu's pace was legendary, but Bolt's world-record sprinting ability keeps him firmly on top.
