THE BOY WHO LEARNT HOW TO FLY

Undoubtedly, this individual stands as the most extraordinary sprinter the world has ever witnessed. We are acutely aware that this will mark his final appearance at an Olympic Games, and achieving a remarkable hat-trick of gold medals in the 100 meters would be an unparalleled feat, one unlikely to be replicated, certainly not in our lifetimes.

"I was born to be an athlete; I believe it was my destiny," he reflects. "I have always aspired to be mentioned among the greatest artists in the world, alongside the likes of Muhammad Ali and Pele."

These are the zeniths of athletic accomplishments, when the entire world feels like a victor. It's a sensation that defies explanation, akin to waking up feeling like a million dollars and recognizing that you are on an exceptional journey. "Tom aspired to be the champion," he grins, "and it's an incredible feeling with just two more victories to go, baby!"

When you hail from different nations and naturally support your country, yet when Usain Bolt steps onto the track, you find yourself cheering for him as well. "Everyone wanted to witness Bolt," he observes. "It's a spectacle that just doesn't happen often."

We may never grasp what it's like to be in his shoes, or to sprint on the world's grandest stage, but for some inexplicable reason, when he steps onto that starting line, we feel like we're running alongside him.

"I have no doubt that we'll see faster runners than Usain Bolt in the future," one commentator remarks, "but the world will always remember the legend."

The past three Olympics have been nothing short of astonishing with Bolt, and he concludes his career in spectacular fashion. "He is, by far, the greatest athlete to ever grace this planet," one commentator exclaims.

He may have been modest in terms of wealth, but he was extravagantly rich in talent, in life, in substance. Witnessing someone like him rise to claim an Olympic gold medal, that's what the world needed. "I found my drive, and I pursued it relentlessly to become the greatest," he reflects. "For me, it was a revelation, a journey marked by hard work, determination, focus, and unwavering dedication. It's not as simple as it might seem."

"People think it's easy," he adds, "but you must remind yourself that you set a goal, and if you don't achieve it this year, everything you've worked for loses its significance. That's what kept me going."

Teammates and friends agree that he is a legend. "Today, it's all about him," they say. "They should just name the stadium after him and send a bus to Jamaica. All right, thank you very much!" [Applause]

"What he has done, winning nine gold medals, is beyond extraordinary," one commentator marvels. "It's like having two titans sitting at the same table."

It is the dream of every aspiring athlete to achieve vitality and prominence, and to have done so as Bolt did is an exceptional accomplishment.

"To see this young boy I grew up with impacting the world like this gives me a sense of purpose," he admits. "I believe I've contributed to something significant."

In times when the world seems chaotic, his ability to make people smile is his greatest gift. "That's my response," he says. "In just nine seconds, I can bring joy to the world."

"I've devoted my entire life to being the best, to shocking everyone with how great a person can be," he acknowledges. "I've strived to be a legend, the greatest, unstoppable, undefeated. I've dedicated my life to this."

"If I were to be candid right now," he confesses, "I'd say I'm relieved because it's been a long journey. Now, for me, it's finally over. I'm saddened, but I believe it's over. I've accomplished what I set out to do in this sport. I'm just happy to close this chapter, relax, go on vacation, not worry about everything, indulge in some junk food, and just live."

In conclusion, the story of Usain Bolt is a tale of unparalleled achievement, unwavering dedication, and a spirit that transcended the boundaries of sport. As he bids farewell to the Olympic stage with a legacy that includes three consecutive gold medals in the 100 meters, he leaves behind an indelible mark on the world of athletics.

Bolt's journey serves as an inspiration to all, a testament to the incredible heights that can be reached through hard work, talent, and an unshakable belief in oneself. His infectious smile, boundless charisma, and ability to make the world smile in just nine seconds remind us that greatness extends far beyond the track.

As we reflect on his illustrious career, we are reminded that while records may be broken, legends like Usain Bolt are immortalized in the annals of history.
