Book Description
For many years, sprinters were considered arrogant, uncommunicative, driven men, willing to do almost anything to win the Olympic Games men's 100 metre gold medal. Then came the ultra-relaxed, charming, playful Usain Bolt, who redefined the world of sprinting, taking it back to a bygone era. The 24 Olympic champions before Bolt covered a wide range of personalities, from those who embraced a celebrity, multimillion-dollar lifestyle to the lonely, suicidal introvert; from enduring legend to forgotten hero; from prison inmate to government minister; and from pharmaceutically enhanced cheat to innocent nineteenth-century college boy. All coveted the title "The fastest man on earth". Their amazing careers and colourful stories make for compelling reading.
