People are baffled that such an athlete exists outside of a ball sport. Let me tell you that the sport is made of freak athletes and if you took 2 min to watch each event in a major track & field championship, your mind would be blown.
Growing up, me and my coach was at a meet and ask one of track and fields previous WRH for an autograph. He looked at us and kept it moving. I made a promise to never do that. I never forgot that moment.
The Streak Continues!
