BBC's poster boy Usain Bolt may not have been as good as BBC has tried to make him after all
Some 15 years ago Klevius launched a web page called A tribute to heroic women (and some tiny men) who showed the world (in the 1980's - before difference/glamour feminism shut the door for many a young girl! The page is part of klevius.info web museum and therefore not touched upon.
Livio Berruti (180 cm/66 kg) run 1960 100 m in 10.2 and 200 m in 20.5 on a cinder track.
Jan Zelezny (182 cm/72 kg) still, after some 20 years, has the javelin world record 98,49 m (previous "record" by Hohn was made with a "sailing" javelin that isn't allowed anymore).
However, the same question about physical appearance and performance still remains. The best ones are never the really big ones or the really muscular ones.
The world's best striker trio ever consists of Messi 169 cm (who is considered the best), Neymar 175 cm (who is now the world's most expensive player) and Suarez 182 cm.
Oil/gas wealthy islamofascist dictatorships from the Arabian peninsula compete with each others to get their names associated with the world's best players in the world's best sport.
However, the beauty of football is that it fits all sorts of (sporty) body constitutions. But due to the skill level needed in top football not every sporty individual may fit - no matter how good he/she is in an other sport.
Usain Bolt: "The boss of Puma knows Dortmund and he made the call. They said they didn't mind and they'd be excited to have me train with them." "I'm going to do that after the season and see what happens. It'd be something big for me - if I could get in the Manchester United jersey that'd be massive for me."
However, Usain's dream is to play for Manchester United.
Klevius: Him being tall would certainly fit Mourinho's strange gathering of tall players - which fact may well turn out to be disastrous for the quality of MU's footballing.
Usain Bolt's decline has come during harder doping controls
Usain Bolt (195 cm/94 kg) beaten by the world's now fastest man Christian Coleman (175 cm/71 kg - 9.82 so far fastest time 2017).Behind 9.58 sec world record (2009) holder Bolt, every other man to run under 9.79sec has served a drugs ban at some point in their career with Gay (9.69sec), Blake (9.69sec), Powell (9.72sec) and Justin Gatlin (9.74sec) all falling foul of anti-doping regulations.
