Australian track cyclist Anna Meares took time out of her busy pre-Rio training schedule to tackle the ultimate test of woman vs. machine this weekend: beating a sports car in a race.

Australian journalist Peter Stefanovic challenged Meares, 11-time world champion in the 500-meter time trial and two-time Olympic gold medalist, to see if she could best a 300-horsepower Porsche Boxer in an 80-meter sprint with a rolling start. In the clip, filmed as part of an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, Meares—who can accelerate from 30kph to 60kph in three seconds—not only cranks out the distance on a track faster than Stefanovic, but also creates a sizeable gap between them.

If Meares needed a confidence boost before defending her sprint title at the Olympics in August, riding faster than a Porsche may have done the trick.
