ATHLETICS Eyes on medals as Athletics Kenya selects formidable team for African Games
Athletics Kenya has selected a formidable team for the African Games after the culmination of a two-day national trials held at the Nyayo National Stadium.
The comparison was made by popular UK state broadcaster BBC Sport posting the 100m speed of Mbappe as 10.9 seconds, which is 'just over a second' slower than Bolt's world record of 9.58 seconds.
However, his time could not even rank him in the top five fastest women in the world and therefore he is ranked joint-63rd on the women's 100m all-time list.

Eliud Kipchoge’s 10th place finish at the Tokyo Marathon also proved costly financially as he will have to contend with a rare low amount having bagged the big bucks previously.
Meanwhile, the multiple Olympic and world champion remains a legend whose times in the 100m and 200m world records are yet to be broken.
He set both world records at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin and no one has ever come close to any of his records. However, he believes that breaking his 100m world record will certainly be more difficult.
