#1 Usain Bolt
"What else can I do to prove to the world I am the greatest?" The Jamaican showman, Usain Bolt had said post his 200-meter final win in Brazil. "I am trying to be one of the greatest. Be among Muhammad Ali and Pele. I hope after these Games I will be in that bracket."
Following the relay, he repeated to the TV cameras: "I'm No. 1." Well, with three different Olympics, three gold medals in three events in each; Bolt can rightly be hailed as the greatest ever to have featured in the sport. Recently though, he had to return his 4x100m relay gold medal from the 2008 Beijing Games after teammate Nesta Carter tested positive for drugs thus denying him the “triple-triple gold” glory.
The fastest human ever on the planet also has 11 gold medals to his name from the World Championships thus rendering him a cut above the rest in his field. Bolt’s world record in 100m stands at 9.58s and in the 200m at 19.19s.
“I am now a legend. I am also the greatest athlete to live.”
