11/5/2023 0 Comments Grease lightning strainAt least to his legion of fans worldwide. But just like the other greats mentioned here, Bolt, too, will go down in history as the greatest. Bolt has too in the final individual race of his life. Roger Federer and Michael Phelps have both lost on occasions. Diego Maradona finished second best to Germany with Andreas Brehme netting the penalty in 1994. He, too, can lose.ĭonald Bradman had scored a duck in his last innings. In fact, his ‘loss’ has added sheen to his legend, now that we know there is a tinge of mortality to his immortality. Brand Bolt, despite the third place finish, is at its most powerful. More powerful than nationalism, this is what makes modern sport the global marketers’ dream. This is one loyalty that will never be taken away from us. ![]() From meeting his parents to doing interviews to that final moment when he did that lightning pose, the greatest showman had all his fans glued to him. It was all Bolt as he started one final lap of the London Stadium. But did it really matter? The winner Justin Gatlin wasn’t even being shown by the TV cameras. Just as the runners reached the last 10 metres, it seemed he had it covered. ![]() He had made up for poor starts all his life and he will again, we thought. Each strain of muscle and each lunge forward to make up for that poor start brought to mind frames of achievement from Beijing to London and to Rio. Bolt was one step closer to never race again. Each time the clock ticked passed a second, a lump formed in a million throats worldwide. Won or lost, Bolt was already the declared champion, and each and every one of us wanted to hold on to those 9-something seconds. The result was of little consequence to many of us. And that’s how was nurtured a loyalty like no other.Īs Bolt bent down to start the last race of his life, time had come to a standstill. He captivated us all and did so time and again. With one finger on his lip, Bolt could turn the whole Olympic stadium quiet, and with one lightening pose - like at the end of his last individual race on Saturday night - he sent spectators in the stands to ruptures. But Bolt, in every sense, has eclipsed every other athlete. And yes, Lewis has won multiple Olympic gold medals. So much so that 50 years down the line, he or she won’t take a backseat in arguing that Bolt, come what may, remains the greatest. But a Usain Bolt fan at 5 will remain a Bolt fan at 80. You can have affairs, a broken marriage, changing tastes of food and clothing, evolving views on politics. For the next 70-80 years of his or her life, this is the only loyalty that stays on. And one turns into a committed follower even before touching double digits. In this age of information flow where space and time turns irrelevant, one starts to become a sports fan at 5-6.
