To me his most impressive races were his 9.85 semifinal run in Beijing while jogging the last 40 meters and and his 19.59 in the rain. The goat.

I miss you Usain!
Not just the insane times, the excitement of EVERY final, just to see what world breaking time would come this time, but also the fun moments, the coolness, the being-nice-to-helpers at the start moments and all of that excitement and pure joy!
I hope one day we get a new giant of sprinting that can spread as much joy as you did!

[DeKleineBarbaar]

It was an absolute honor to be able to witness such a talent! You redefined sprinting. 9, 58 will stand for a very long time! Thank you sir!!

People forget about bolts 9.76 in 2008. It was at the time the second fastest in history and only bolts 2nd ever 100m race after his 10.03. This was the race that triggered the rise of the greatest of all time.

He delivered what he wanted to. He is in the elite group now, Ali, Pele, Bolt.
Massive respect. Wish i could meet him in person one day

The love we have for Bolt we never die, the once and forever Speed King

[lovesafrica]

I, too just love Usain..not just for being the fastest man ever but his great spirit. I, too would love to just shake his hand & say "thank you" & what a gift to the world you've been. My absolute favorite athlete of my entire life.

This is the story Carl Lewis doest want told. His narrative has been that Usain never ran below 10s until 2008 so how could he break WRs out of the blue. Carl is both jealous and devious. The part he leaves out is that Usain ran only one 100m prior to 2008 and it was a 10.03.

For the life of me i still don't understand why a bigger deal isn't made of that. Who runs 10.03 in their very 1st race? That accomplishment alone should have made news & put everyone on notice. Instead, they mocked Bolt and Coach Mills for daring to put 6'5" in a 100m race.

When 6'5" can run 10.03 in their 1st race, anything is possible. Even the impossible can be possible. And that's exactly what Bolt did. He achieved the impossible.

Standing ovation 🎉🎉🎉 The best there ever was. The best that will ever be. The Honorable Usain St Leo Bolt: The World's Fastest Human
