if we hold a short-distance race for all animals, the cheetah definitely wins the gold medal!
With a top speed of 70 miles per hour, cheetahs deserve to be crowned with the title "the world's fastest short-distance runners." If we hold a marathon, however, animals such as gazelles or horses can quickly. About 20 seconds after the race starts, cheetahs become too overheated to continue the race and they must stop.
