He's seriously quick and an amazing athlete. But i think if i was that fast i'd want to put my skills to better use than just winning medals. Can anyone think of any good uses you could put that sort of pace to? I can only think of bad things like robbing people and running away.

On a serious note, i think when you look at the amount he is smashing these records by, i think he may arguably have to be called not only the greatest athlete but also the greatest sportsman of all time.

Two good suggestions, but i'm not sure either would be exciting enough to justify giving up becoming the greatest athlete of all time.

Maybe being quick is a pretty useless skill after all.
