"2028, I'll be running in the Olympics for sure," the streamer said atย ComplexCon 2024.

"I'm going to do 100m and 50m, and maybe 200m."

In recent years, professional sports has seen the rise of YouTube stars and popular streamers attempt to force their way into professional sports.

Most notably, YouTuber Jake Paul broke record last weekend when he faced and defeated Mike Tyson in the boxing ring.
