Boozy Race Of The Year, As Told By Actor Mickey Rourke:

“I had been drinking tequila with these guys from the Huddersfield Giants rugby team. I was arm wrestling with one of them, he was huge, and that is how I tore my bicep. I should have given in but I didn’t want to, you know.

But at least I won something that night… [Usain Bolt and I] were outside the Wellington in Central London and it was four in the morning. It was just that time of the night, you know, when anything can happen. So I went up to him and I said, ‘Come on, you are the world’s fastest man, let’s go.’

There was a space in the street of about 30 meters. I got him to back up about four paces, we set off and I got him by a few inches.”

Mickey Rourke was the only man to defeat Usain Bolt in London in the Summer of 2012.
