The dominance of Bolt seems like ancient mythology. This man is no doubt the greatest sprinter of all time.

This is the “Bolt affect” because bolt was so god dam fast he pushed all the other athletes to train even harder to catch him.

It's only been 15 years, so we'll see how long it stands.

Being witness to all of this as a kid at the time I felt proud but didn’t understand the historical scope of it all. Now I look back, I get it. Jamaica and the track and field world have met up for years throughout generations of athletes and eras. It’s almost like the world meeting up once a year. To see your country on top at these events especially the Olympics that’s every 4 years it’s absolutely beautiful, because there was a time when track and field was all we had and the only thing that connects us, teach us about different flags and countries. Jamaica and the British empire was a tough place to grow up In for me in the 90s but we have such intriguing, intense and beautiful history and stories. Track and field made me love and appreciate the world and all the different people. It’s just unfortunate so many people cannot see how beautiful the human race is and how more beautiful it is watching and observing it throughout the decades.

Two additional things I wish we got out of Bolt's career; more attempts at running close to sub 19s in the 200m and a full season attempt in an off-championship year like 2010 going after the 400 WR especially after running 30.97 in his sole attempt at the 300m which was the sea level WR at the time following MJ's 30.85 at altitude in Pretoria, SA in 2000!

[@mrnur1910]

I honestly believe he could have gone sub 19 in his 200m world record he was tired since he broke the 100m World record on the same day and in the last 50m of the 200m world record he slowed down due to fatigue and it was in to a headwind

Looking back at Bolts career dont you think about the absolute failure by world athletics to capitalise on the opportunity to grow the sport of athletics.

The reality is athletics is no more popular now than before Bolts time. The only aspect of athletics that is increasing in popularity is road running.

[@StarboundUK]

He would have to lose a lot of weight & give up a load of power to change his body to run 400m.... Usain Bolt was 15st & 6'5" - that's a lot of weight to carry around a 400m track & he'd likely have to sacrifice 100m as a result
