(ECNS) -- China's traffic conditions were again mocked by netizens, as six-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt issued a challenge to Chinese buses on Tencent Weibo, the Beijing Times reported.

"Are there any Chinese buses to race against me?" Bolt posted it Monday after winning an 80-meter race against a bus in Argentina, arousing witty and humorous feedback from Chinese netizens.

Some said, "Bolt definitely will win, as traffic jams are common in China." "Chinese buses have slowed to a snail's pace, so Bolt needn't come."

A netizen warned Bolt of Chinese buses, "They always forcibly change lanes and drive in urban areas at a high speed as on highways."

A female bus driver in Dalian city of Liaoning province said she would accept the challenge, adding that she will definitely win in a 300-meter race against Bolt.

Similarly, Chinese netizens joked that the best fighters in China are the chengguan (urban management officers), after Mike Tyson, former heavyweight boxing champion of the world, asked on Sina Weibo.

The report said Bolt's eye-catching post might just be a publicity stunt for a future visit to China.
