He was dancing with some of the athletes and Sham
His record is safe. Lyles is very good and its early in the season.

(57,497 posts)3. I'm a big fan of Bolt's. When he was running and got those long legs...
turning over, it was just about impossible for the others to catch him. I think it'll have to be another tall sprinter to get close to his records.

Bolt was STRONG. He powered his way down the track. More cheetah than gazelle.
He looked like a tight end just blowing everyone away.

Carl Lewis (at his peak) were roughly 25 years apart.
