The World’s Fastest Interview
Today, I set up possibly the coolest interview I will do this year. It takes place on August 17, in Beijing, about an hour before the final race of the men’s 100-meters. The 100 meters is, without a doubt, my favorite single event in sports. It is definitely my favorite 10 seconds. There is nothing quite like watching the fastest men in the world scream past you at seemingly inhuman speeds as you stand, motionless and speechless, on the sideline. I am certain this race—and this interview—will be two of my favorite memories of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
34th and Madison, Part 2
[Alyssa's note: Below, I refer to Usain Bolt as one of the fastest men alive. Well, at the Reebok Grand Prix, he one-upped that title by running a 9.72 in the 100m, breaking the current world record and becoming the fastest man alive. But just when you think there can't be a cooler name-sport combo than a man named Bolt being the fastest man alive, you find out about a Russian hurdler who set a world record in the 400m hurdles in 1986—her name: Marina Stepanova.]
