A man from Karnataka reportedly ran faster than UsainBolt in a traditional Buffalo race. Identified as Srinivasa Gowda, the28-year-old covered 142.5 metres in just 13.62 seconds.

His speed for 100 metres will be just 9.55 seconds and thatis .03 seconds faster than Bolt's world record. However, the records cannot becompared directly as Bolt ran on a flat track while Gowda ran alongside a pairof buffalo and there was water around.

Though Gowda attributed the credit of his success to his buffaloes, some netizens suggested that he should train for the Olympics.
