I honestly believe Adama could have been at the Olympics for Spain.

I reckon he could run 100m under 10.7seconds. If he trained as an athlete who would be a medal contender.

I have been on the beer and I am drunk on the Olympics.
 
I don’t know, but I’d place a sizeable wager that he’d fall over just before the finishing line. Lack of end product and all that….

Qualifying time for the 100m was 10.05 seconds.

I don't know if 10.7 is possible for Traore, at a guess he probably could, but we never see footballers run much more than 50m, but these Olympic sprinters are far faster than anything we see on a pitch.

An NFL player, DK Metcalf, was challenged to do the US trials. He did it in about 10.3 seconds but was still plum last in his heat.

I reckon he would give the top sprinters a run for their money over the 60m indoor distance with the explosive acceleration he’s capable of. 100m is more about stride length and sprint endurance than steps per second and acceleration.
 
Problem he’d have is he would be out of the traps the quickest , run the length the quickest but then wouldn’t quite know where to run to and veer out of his lane and sprint into the stand .
 
He's used to running with his head down. So should have no problems 😂

Jokes aside hes absolutely rapid. Hands down the quickest thing I've seen in the flesh. Especially from walking pace to rapid over a few meters (with ball at feet).

Sub 11 seconds.

Yeah thats what I thought, Traore has a similar physique to some of the elite NFL players and a number if them have ran sub 11 on the track.

He'd still be a long way behind the best in the world though.
 
I knew lads at school who could run sub 11 seconds. Traore is faster than they were. Maybe sub 10.5 but as people have said, not anything for the real elite sprinters to worry about.

What age ? There’s not many school lads knocking out sub 11 second 100 metres!
