Greatest duel in Olympics history. Carl should get an assist for pushing Powell to make this incredible leap.

imagining yourself in his shoes, knowing you have the talent and training, you're running down this lane. You're body is moving in light speed by itself due to muscle memory because of all you're countless hours of training. You're focus is in your visual surroundings. Seconds before the finish line, time moves slow. Helping you know exactly when to assist your body, in giving it that extra punch right before you leap. Like you're life dependent on it. Everyone trains hard. Everyone is at the top of their league. Some have a special "edge" that some can't possess.
