World indoor champion sprinter Richard Kilty has challenged Arsenal pair Héctor Bellerín and Theo Walcott to a race – any distance, any time and anywhere…
If the British sprinter seems a tad riled it’s because he is. Reports suggest that Bellerín has overtaken Walcott as the fastest man at Arsenal over 40 metres.

The right-back supposedly ran the distance in 4.42 seconds – which is quicker than Usain Bolt managed when he broke the 100m world record in 2009.
media claiming @HectorBellerin can run 4.42 over 40m. Absolutely no way. Are these journalists complete morons!

I will put £30,000 on the line to race @HectorBellerin & @theowalcott any sprint distance, any time, any place, anywhere

Kilty isn’t happy with such comparisons and has challenged both Bellerín and Walcott to a foot race in order to shut the media up with their silly comparisons.
The 25-year-old is so confident that he could easily skin the pair that he’s willing to lay down a £30,000 wager, which both footballers earn in approximately 4.42 seconds…
The race will be over very quick. So if they put their money down I will gladly show everyone they can not sprint as fast as the media claim
