Actress Kelly Solution on page 2 CoverStory By George Dickie © Zap2it He's still considered the "fastest man alive" — just not as fast as he once was. And this week Jamai- can sprinter Usain Bolt will try to do what no man or woman has done in Olympic competition as he endeavors to sweep the 100-meter, 200-meter and 4x100 events for the third- straight Summer Games at the Rio Olympics begin- ning Sunday, Aug. 14, on NBC and other outlets. The 29-year-old Bolt gave the crowds in Beijing a memory they won't soon forget back in 2008 when he swept the three events, all in world record time. Four years later in Lon- don, he repeated the feat — though he didn't set any speed records — to become the first to sweep all three events in consec- utive Olympics. "Well, it'd be nice to be able to slow down but still be the fastest man in the world," says NBC studio host Dan Patrick, "so when somebody says 'slowing down,' he's still faster than anybody else in the world. And once again, we're going to see how he reacts to that knowing that there are younger guys — the mar- gin of error is shrinking for him but to still be the guy to beat in those events is pretty remarkable." In the 100-meter event on Sunday, Bolt is certainly vulnerable. Coming off a hamstring injury, he'll be up against a field that includes American Justin Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic champion in the 100 meter and the fastest man in 2014 and 2015; fellow countryman Yohan Blake, who owns the world's second-fastest mark in that event; and Team USA's Trayvon Bro- mell, the bronze medalist at the 2015 World Champi- onships. In the 200-meter on Thursday, Aug. 18, experts seem to agree that Bolt will likely take home gold against a field including Gatlin and Blake — as- suming that he's healthy. "It's still the most fas- cinating event I saw in London when he ran the 200 meters," Patrick says, "and it's one thing to see somebody on TV running fast. It was something completely different to be at the stadium at night and to watch him make that turn — and I was sitting right at the turn — and when he made the turn and was heading for home, then you saw a different speed. TV does not do him justice. And it didn't last long. You know, it's 20 seconds but man it was pretty incredible. It was very, very powerful." Justin Gatlin vies for gold this week at the Rio Olympics on NBC and other outlets. Bolt goes for sweep No. 3 in Rio Providing for the Agricultural and Gardening Needs of our Community 711 E.
