A new study shows that men are overconfident when it comes to their running skills.
Some of the findings of the study, ahead of the British Grand National horse race, include:
- One in 50 men think they could beat a horse in a 100-meter sprint
- They think could outpace crocodiles (27-percent) and elephants (20-percent)
- 11% reckon they could outsprint a house cat over 10 meters
- Women don’t think they can outrun most non-human competitors.
It’s worth noting that the fastest horse ever recorded managed a speed of more than 40mph, and Usain Bolt’s fastest time was 27.78mph.
