Watch James Corden lose miserably to Usain Bolt in a 100m sprint

He's had a singalong with Michelle Obama and Missy Elliot, shared a stage with Coldplay in a 90,000+ capacity venue and been thrown off a building as Matt Damon's reluctant stunt double - so it's only natural that James Corden would eventually take on the world's fastest man at his own game.

And lose. Badly. Corden and the entirety of The Late Late Show staff base challenged Usain Bolt to a 100-metre sprint, billing it as 'a race sports fans have been waiting for'. Also among the contestants was Owen Wilson, but we're not entirely sure why. In fact it was the Zoolander star that prematurely got proceedings underway. He was penalised for a false start moments before Bolt pretty much jogged to a comfortable victory. Anybody expecting him to go easy on the celebrity competitors was very much mistaken. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAXhib4aemM As for Corden, he finished up in a not quite respectable 20th place, telling the cameras afterwards that top 15 had been his aim. Still, the presenter was gracious in (emphatic) defeat. Conceding that sport is full of ups and downs, he said: "You know, it wasn’t my day. "That’s the life of an athlete – of a professional track athlete. Some days it comes, some days it doesn’t.' https://twitter.com/JKCorden/status/780888711948931072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
