Washington receiver John Ross set a record in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine Saturday.

Eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt retired from the track in 2017 and is playing soccer now. But clearly, the 32-year-old sprinter hasn’t lost his speed because Saturday at this year’s Super Bowl Experience event, where people can see how they handle NFL combine challenges, Bolt tied the NFL record for the 40-yard dash.

But Bolt — the fastest man on the planet with the 9.58 world record in the 100 meters — proved even in retirement, he’s still got it as he tied Ross’ combine record.

Bolt retired from racing after the 2017 world championships, where he finished third in his last 100-meter race and heartbreakingly collapsed in his final race, the 4×100-meter relay. Still, that 2009 still-standing world record and all that hardware speak for themselves.
