I don't know, Bolt was pretty special. And not just because of his speed. He had a perfect mix of ability, personality, and charisma. I really don't expect another Bolt in my lifetime. There will surely be people faster, but not the package that he was, capable of carrying an entire sport.

what exactly did he do to "carry the entire sport?" Did he make it more popular somehow? I don't see that, at least in the US. We could see, for example, the "Tiger Woods" effect on golf, better ratings, bigger purses, more kids interested. Am i missing that with Bolt? I love watching him and winning the 100-200-4X100 triple twice was amazing, let alone 3 times, but i don't see him as bigger star than Carl Lewis was back in the day or Even Michael Johnson at his peak.
