Berlin: Borussia Dortmund’s stars better get their skates on, after it was announced that multiple Olympic champion Usain Bolt is expected to train with the German giants.
A sprinting duel with pace ace striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been mooted.
Dortmund’s managing director Hans Joachim Watrzke told German publication daily Bild on Monday that the Bundesliga club are glad that the Jamaican star is coming, as it will be a great motivation for the players, reports Efe.
The date on which Bolt will train with Dortmund has not yet been set but Watzke said it will not be in the middle of the season.
It is expected that any race between Aubameyang and Bolt will be held when Dortmund return to training after the winter break or perhaps even next pre-season.
Aubameyang has run a 30-metre sprint in 3.7 seconds. Bolt needed 3.78 seconds for the first 30 metres when he achieved the current world record time of 9.58 seconds in the men’s 100-metre event in Berlin at the World Championships in 2009.
