Usain Bolt Speech
Introduction
If you’ve watched the previous two Olympics you’ve been fortunate enough to have seen the fastest man on the planet run the 100m and 200m. Today I want to inform you about how Usain Bolt revolutionized sprinting by being the 1st of his sport to truly be a genetic freak of nature. You have to be gifted to be an Olympic sprinter, but today I’m going to explain how his height and stride, how he gets out of the box, and how his closing speed makes him the fastest man on the planet.
Body
I. Usain’s height and stride set him apart from the rest of the competition
A. Stride length
1. Usain’s number of steps 2. Competitors number of steps
B. Height
1. Usain’s height
2. Competitors height
Transition: Now that you can see how his genetic make up sets him apart from the rest of his competitors I will show you the technical side of running that makes him faster than anybody else.
II. Getting out of the box (Acceleration) can make or break the race
A. Getting a good jump of the gun
B. Not straightening up too quickly
Transition: You can’t win the race in the first half of the race, but you sure can lose it. This is why it getting out of the box is so important. Now lets look at the second half of the race. Closing speed.
III. Closing speed closes the deal
A. Maintaining a good stride
B. Running through the line
Conclusion
Today we have looked at how Usain gets out of the box and how his closing speed makes him the fastest man on the planet, but it is undeniable how his genetic make up takes him to another level of speed. Like all things you have to adapt to survive and in the sport of sprinting I believe you will gradually see taller sprinters in the Olympics. For now Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet, holding the record for the 100m dash, running it in 9.58 seconds and the 200m dash in 19.19s. With the last name of bolt why shouldn’t he be the fastest man on the planet?
