Usain Bolt Identifies Mistake in Cristiano Ronaldo's Running Technique

Athletics legend Usain Bolt has revealed a failure in Cristiano Ronaldo's running style, despite the icon being one of the fastest players in the game.   

James Whaling of the Daily Mirror quoted the Jamaican superstar speaking about the Real Madrid attacker in journalist Guillem Balague's new book about the player, referencing their meeting in 2009 when CR7 was at Old Trafford: "When he is running and reaches top speed he starts to tip over. If he brought his foot down on the centre of gravity, or even in front of him, it will be much easier. He will be much better and he will go faster for longer."

Ronaldo is known for his blistering pace that developed during his time under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson, as the player hit the gym, improving his physique and sporting capability. 

This YouTube video fully display's the winger's speed:

The attacker's fast feet allow him to move past his opponent in every direction, either cutting through the heart of a defence or going on the outside of a full-back. 

However, Bolt's advice could see Ronaldo be quicker, making him an even more potent predator. 

Ronaldo netted 58 times in the league and Europe last term, per WhoScored.com, but Bolt's observations could see him develop further.

But at 30, it is unlikely the Real Madrid star will be changing any part of his game, often proving he is the best in the world with his current technique and desire.
