Is he faster than a speeding bullet? Probably not. But, he just might be the most dominant athlete in the world. Just who is this mystery athlete? Well, don’t blink because you’ll miss him.
The fastest man alive, Usain Bolt, has to be seriously considered the best in the sports business. It just seems like the only way this guy can lose is through disqualification; yeah, he’s that good.
For once, the greatest athlete on the planet doesn’t throw for touchdowns, hit home runs, or dunk the basketball; instead, he glides like a cheetah. When sports fans watch Bolt compete, they aren’t watching to see whether he’ll win or not, they’re looking to see if he’ll shatter another world record.
The Jamaican icon has won on the biggest stages with style. He burst onto the scene when he won three gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and has run away with just about every accolade ever since. Oh yeah, he’s only 25 years old.
Is there anyone else who dominates a sport quite like Bolt? Perhaps, one could make an argument for either Lionel Messi or Michael Phelps. However, Messi has yet to win a World Cup and Phelps hasn’t been as consistent as Bolt lately.
One thing is certain, if Bolt puts on another dazzling performance at the 2012 Summer Olympics, this won’t even be up for debate. Let’s hope that this lightning bolt does strike twice.
