It is very rare for a short-distance sprinter to maintain their top speed like Gout Gout can (25 MPH). Thus, he is my dark horse fave to win the 200m gold at the 2028 Summer Olympics (LA28).

The 400m will end up being his best event 😮
Bolt walked on his toes and was very springy as a teenager as well.
