Usain Bolt was a superstar. An all time great who transcended his sport. We take a look back on his remarkable career, and relive why Bolt being on the start line made athletics box office viewing
Knowledgeable, affectionate and well written. This writer recollects Bolt's amazing career with all the admiration of a true fan. The records speak for themselves but here the writer conveys the magical way the best-ever athlete transcended his sport by the power of personality.
James has detailed knowledge of the sport / physical demands of the short sprints. Given the tiny margins of these events, what Bolt did should be impossible. However, he did what he did, and James articulates so well how lucky we are, as sports fans, to have been witness to the Bolt era. Humans have been sprinting for millions of years, but no one has or will ever again (cleanly) do what he did. I enjoyed the passion and knowledge shared in this well-crafted piece. Thanks for writing this, James.
