Pop star Britney Spears has claimed she has broken Usain Bolt's world record for the 100-metre dash by four seconds.

Jamaican runner Bolt earned the record back in 2009 after completing a 100-metre run in 9.58 seconds at the Berlin World Athletics Championships.

However, 'Toxic' singer Spears has now taken to Instagram to post her speed from a recent workout and it smashes Bolt's record by quite a distance, clocking in at 5.97 seconds.

It would certainly be an interesting career change for 'The Princess of Pop' if she decided to go all in with athletics.

Fans on social media have reacted to Spears' claims and they're also finding it very hard to believe shes broken the world record.
