Falcons coach Dan Quinn said that each morning during training camp he’s shown the team highlights of athletes competing. Monday morning’s reel included Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt becoming the first person to win three consecutive Olympic gold medals at 100 meters.
“I think for him, to do it time and time again—wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t done yet—we all respect the competitor,” Quinn said. “Early on we knew how good he is, and then to keep doing it, we tip our hat to him.”
Bolt, 29, won the 100m on Sunday with a time of 9.81 seconds. He still has a chance to win his third consecutive gold medals in the 200m (Tuesday) and 4x100m relay (Thursday).
