But the simplicity of running is what makes being f**king brilliant at it so AMAZING

Because ANYONE can do it. The poorest nations compete on level terms with the richest. Kenyans win, Cubans win, Jamaicans win. It's not like rowing or cycling or sailing or any of those complex sports where having the latest carbon fibre thingy tested by astronauts in a wind tunnel makes a 0.00075 second difference

Just a bloke and a track and some spikes against all the other blokes

Pure, simple, competition at something EVERYONE in the WHOLE FUCKING WORLD can do

And he was the best, maybe the best EVER
