I was in England for the Atlanta games and let me tell you, Johnson was not some construct of NBC marketing. Everyone was simply flabbergasted by the guy.
That 200 meters he ran was the greatest race I have ever seen. It was unbelievable.
He's always on the BBC coverage too. Very knowledgable, well spoken, and most importantly, he's not afraid to criticise other atheletes and doesn't dress his criticisms up as compliments, if someone's just plain shite, Johnson will tell it like it is. He delivers all this technical information about sprinting such as stride length etc etc in such a way that I feel I could go talk about it to my friends. Really great presenter.

Donovan Bailey was pretty cool in '96 despite being Canadian. Just the way he punked the rest of the 100M field and then went after Michael Johnson after was bad-arse

Dick Fosberry. When people saw him high jump backwards on live TV for the first time they thought it was an optical illusion.
