CBC Sports activities had some enjoyable with a few of the present stars of Canadian music on the pink carpet finally weekend’s Juno Awards, with a reporter asking how briskly they thought they might run 100 metres. In sometimes Canadian vogue, most of their solutions had been appropriately modest–apart from host Simu Liu, who mentioned “I’m quick. Once I was 12, it was lower than eight [seconds]. Eight is straightforward.” (Only for the file, Usain Bolt’s world file is 9.58 seconds. We notice Liu is a superhero, however we actually hope he was pulling our leg.)
How briskly do YOU suppose you could possibly run 100m? 😂

Impressively, actor and comic Andrew Phung knew that Donovan Bailey holds the Canadian file (at 9.84, although, not 9.81), however appeared astonished to be taught that the world file is 9.58. Finally, he mentioned “18.”
With that established, Jenna Walker of nation duo The Reklaws (nominated for Group of the 12 months) mentioned, “In all probability, like, 20.” Hip hop artist 347aidan (nominated for Breakthrough Artist of the 12 months) confidently asserted “a random guess–17 seconds. I really feel like I might hit that.”
“Nicely, if I used to be being chased by a wild animal…” mused nation singer Brett Kissel, whose file What Is Life? received Nation Album of the 12 months, earlier than presenting an fascinating state of affairs: “or on the farm? Generally in case you’re pulling a calf and a cow is chasing after you… You possibly can run fairly quick if you’re scared.”
The ladies of The Seashores (who received Rock Album of the 12 months for his or her file Sisters Not Twins, obtained fairly into the dialogue; we suspect a few of them may as soon as have been sprinters. “I feel 18 seconds–that is likely to be my high pace,” says guitarist Leandra Earl. Then drummer Eliza Enman-McDaniel jumped in with, “I’m an excellent sprinter, however not as quick as she is–so perhaps, like, 23. I don’t know. Is that good?” Later, vocalist Jordan Miller modestly quipped, “I dunno, like 30 seconds?” which obtained a giant giggle from the others.
Lauren Spencer-Smith, who obtained her begin on American Idol, appeared knowingly on the reporter and mentioned “13 seconds?”
Singer-songwriter Karl Wolf: 12 seconds. (“I dunno… is that quick?”)
Lastly, Phung got here up with an ideal thought: “Each Olympics must have the Olympians and one common individual–one individual, like, off the sofa, simply so I do know. As a result of generally, the Web’s like, ‘I might’ve completed sooner.’ No, you couldn’t.”
