This has to be one of the greatest moments in Canadian sports history. I remember watching this vividly as an 8 year old. (Now 33) I still get goosebumps watching it.

@@pjaye3717 I have vivid memories of Donovan Bailey breaking the world record under 10 seconds here in Swanguard Stadium when I was like 9 or 10. Pretty crazy how that track is within walking distance from where I lived. He's inspired me to this day as someone who's action, no talk.

The man was in 2nd last place 30 metres into the race. He overtook 4 guys in the last 50 metres. Until I started sprinting, and getting formal coaching, I had no clue how difficult something like this really was. This is easily a top 5 of all time in the Olympics.

Bailey has always had a slow start though. It was always a matter of whether or not he could catch up. That's why it's shocking to me that: a. He once tied the world record for fastest 50m. b. He beat Michael Johnson at the 75 mark in their 150m race. This was the race where the turn was at the *start* of the race and Johnson was considered the best turn runner at that point.
