So good that some one remember this great runner. I had a talked with Ato Boldon over email and he was suspicious of my claimed about

Leonard being #2 to go bellow 10 sec in the 100m. But I think I convinced him. Coming from a guy like Ato Boldon was quite a Complement. Guys like Leonard are the true heroes in sports. Like Maurice Green who brought the record from 9.84 to 9.76 a big jump compared to others who only bettered the record by 1 hundredth of a second.

I remember the day Leonard broke the record, I watched it on TV. It was incredible, he was so happy that he injured himself and probably

never recovered from it. The proof being his silver medal against a man who was not in a top ranker, Allan Wells.
