IShowSpeed is challenged to a race by Polish Olympic sprinting star Ewa Swoboda - after the Youtuber claimed that 'nobody in the world' could beat him

Polish Olympic sprinter Ewa Swoboda has challenged IShowSpeed to a race after the Youtuber claimed that 'nobody in the world' could beat him.

The 27-year-old saw her individual Olympic hopes ended at the semi-final stage of the women's 100m when her time of 11.08seconds was only enough for fourth place finish.

Swoboda is a two-time European Championship medallist, while she claimed silver in the 60m at the world indoor championships in Glasgow earlier this year. Outdoors, she has a PB over 100m of 10.94seconds.


Nonetheless, Speed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr., proudly stated to his large audience on a recent livestream that he would have no problems beating her in a race. After initially joking that he would rather get Swoboda’s number, he insisted that 'nobody in the world' could beat him.

'I’m being dead-a**,' he said. 'At no point in life have I ever lost a race. That’s why people call me Speed.'
