    I don't know much about any of these lightning bolts but Jesse Owen's story must be incredible.
    Could win Olympic medals but couldn't sit where he wanted to on a bus.... - what a litmus test for a society, so ridiculous.
    Usian bolt - his competitors are unbelievably powerful, fast and talented but he makes them look slow. Those scenes will last far into the future.

    Jesse is top! His story is utterly fascinating along with his relationship with Luz Long and his son, Kai. His connection to Adi Dassler (Adidas). Maybe even present his story.
    Carl Lewis must be on this list!
    With all due respect, Justin's last name is Gatlin😊🤗

    Did anybody else notice that they all seem to have come from two families? Morris Green, Ferdinand Omanyala, Yohan Blake and Ben John (not listed here) are the same body type while the others seem to resemble to the point of even having the same facial structure. Tyson Gaye seems to be the exception.

    I would have put Carl Lewis on the list. But this list is still amazing. Also, I know Michael Johnson isn't considered a sprinter per se, but he's probably the fastest other than Usain. Sadly, it was unable to be proven after he got injured* during his one on one race. Some people still believe Jesse Owens is the fastest man EVER, because he did what he did on clay. Imagine if he ran on the same tracks sprinters of today run on. So, I can't argue against that.
