Britney Spears Says She Can Beat Usain Bolt In 100-Meter

Britney Spears can do a lot of things. She can sing, dance and apparently run really fast.

Spears took to Instagram Wednesday with a since-deleted post that she is faster than the fastest human alive, Usain Bolt.

She said, "Ran my first 5!!!! Getting over your fear of pushing it in the beginning is key …. once I did that I hit 5!!!!! Usually I run 6 or 7 …. my first try was 9 …. and now I did it whoop !!!!! 100 meter dash."

The world record for the 100-meter is Bolt's time of 9.58 seconds. The fastest women's time is 10.49, which was set by Florence Griffith-Joyner.

So, Spears thinks she cut those times in half?

Spears later clarified on Instagram that she was only kidding: "obviously I was joking about running the 100 meter dash in 5.97 seconds …. the world record is held by Usain Bolt which is 9.58 seconds …. but you better believe I'm coming for the world record -- !!!! #joking #workbitch."

Okay I guess I'm bored …. in my home for two weeks of quarantine and I'm modeling dresses I never knew I had ------------ !!!! I tried to screen shot a picture but it didn't work --‍♀️--‍♀️--‍♀️ I realized I had my hair in a pony tail and no shoes ------ anyhow I got this cute video !!! I was tired of being still so I got up to go dance in this orange dress ---- ….. and do you know what I just learned today ??!? That orange symbolizes wealth, success, stimulation, happiness, fun, balance, sexuality, enjoyment, expression, heat, sunshine, and warmth ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️----‍♀️ and that's how I felt when I put it on !!!!!! PS …. obviously I was joking about running the 100 meter dash in 5.97 seconds …. the world record is held by Usain Bolt which is 9.58 seconds …. but you better believe I'm coming for the world record -- !!!! #joking #workbitch

You have to give Spears credit, though. She managed to get people's mind off the coronavirus, even if only for a moment.
