speed merchant
Quick-footed athlete type
A speed merchant is someone or something known for exceptional quickness.
The term applies to fast athletes, especially runners or racing drivers: The new winger is a real speed merchant.
It can also describe fast vehicles or, in cricket, a bowler who relies on pace rather than spin.
