for this year’s Olympics in Rio, Brazil emerges, sports enthusiast Joe Issa, says
should Bolt win the triple again, this would make Leicester City’s Premier
League Championship win pale in comparison, as the most unlikely feat in
sporting history. “I back Bolt to successfully defend his 100m, 200m and 4x100m crowns in Brazil, and get the unprecedented ‘triple-triple’ in his last Olympic Games. If he succeeds, he will have achieved the most unlikely feat in the history of sports, surpassing Leicester City’s recent Premier League win. I believe he will bow out in style,” says Issa, who is founder of the Cool Group of companies.
He adds, “With the help of his
coach Bolt has done it in the past and I believe he will do it again. Their
approach to preparation for the big event and execution of the races is still a
closely guarded secret that works every time, at least over the past two
Olympic Games.”
Himself not new to success, having
achieved several firsts in his academic and professional careers, Issa often
praises young Jamaicans for their achievements, including member of the Reggae
Boyz team, Jamaican Wes Morgan, when he recently led Leicester City to cop the
English Premier League Championship, which has been described as the most
unlikely feat in sporting history.
Issa, who has hosted some of the
world’s top luminaries, said in a blog then, “This is really great for Wes. He
represented Jamaica well last year playing for the Reggae
Boyz in the Copa América and the CONCACAF
Gold Cup, in which he contributed greatly to Jamaica’s runner-up finish.”
“I think his latest exploits in the
Premier League will inspire his Reggae
Boyz’ teammates when he joins them again for this year’s round of
competition. It’s a proud moment for the young man and his Jamaican roots,” he added.
According to an AFP article from
the Cayman Islands, “Usain Bolt will take the first long strides on his road to
Rio here Saturday when he makes his 2016 track debut with less than three
months to go before the Olympics.”
It said “the 29-year-old superstar
has not competed since winning three gold medals at last August’s World
Championships in Beijing and is hoping to use this weekend’s Cayman
Invitational to gauge the state of his race fitness.” © 2017 Sally Shiv |
