Track and field legend Usain Bolt has poured cold water on Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receiver Tyreek Hill hopes of making it to Toyko 2020 Olympic Games.
Hill told reporters last month that after this football season, which his Kansas City chiefs team won, he would try out for USA’s Olympic team in the 200m.
“No, there’s no chance,” Bolt was quoted by NBC saying.
“A lot of people think it’s about one-off runs, but it’s rounds that really show who you are and the amount of work you do. So I think no, he wouldn’t make the team,” explained Bolt.
The 25-year-old Kansas City Chiefs receiver, who has not competed since the 2014 indoor season, has personal best times of 10.19 and 20.12 for 100m and 200m, set as a junior.
But the World’s Fastest Man believes it would be easier for him to play American football.
“I think my hands are good, and I know I’ve got the speed,” he said.

Low blow Willie Watt. Go to HELL!
Tyreek Hill has posted excellent times and deserves to follow his dream, although it’s true the competition is very hot and the mechanics of sprinting are important to master. Still, he is sufficiently talented to have his dream and to pursue it. As has already been said, lacking success at the trials would not outweigh the value of things you learn about yourself. Mr. Hill, if you’ve got time and grit, go after it!
This story has overstayed its time in the spotlight. I feel like this even became a story due to desperate Journalism at a very long NFL media day during Super Bowl Week! A reporter probably largely ignorant to the full nature of track & field, knew he ran track at high level in high school and since he is clearly the fastest player in the league, thought it would be a clever angle to ask him about ambitions to pursue athletics, especially since we have the Olympics coming up this year. They needed something to publish. This something has triggered the track & field community & has earned Hill unnecessary backlash. He was just responding to a media member’s question.
Only thing hill is fast at is bashing women and kids
My bet is that he’s probably slower on track than he was in high school. He doesn’t have the time to master the blocks or the turn. MAYBE he could do it if he took a year off of football.
Bolt wood snap like a twig in the nfl!!Or any football league for that matter!
He wood snap like a twig in the nfl!!
Atheltic great Michael Johnson also agrees with Bolt.
Hill stay in your lane. He have no chance making the USA sprint team .
For most athletes it is called the Olympic Dream…. let him try and knowing that he tried. He will be a better person with encouragement than negativity.
Bolt is not wrong. Hill might make it out of the prelims, but unlikely he makes the OT final let alone make the US team.
Can he bolt take on those games they are to Ruff for him..that game is not an easy game to do..best stay with the word stay away from sport
Someone must and thank you Bolt . Whose spot would he take on USA Olympics Team ?
Bolt chat too much sometimes. Discouraging the man but at the sametime believing he can concur America football. Can you take a hit bolt?
