Powell, a famous Jamaican track and field athlete, recently placed his hopes on his sons on social media: "I hope my sons can break my record and challenge Bolt." Assaf Powell, one of Jamaica's 100m flyers, set the men's 100m proto world record of 9.77 seconds at the 2005 Athens Challenge in Greece before Bolt set a world record of 9.58 seconds. Since then, his reputation has soared, and he is one of the toughest players in the 100-meter race.
Powell has a strong 100-meter race, and when he set a world record of 9.77 seconds in 2005, the reporter at the time commented on him: running faster than the wind. Since then, he has also won championships in major track and field 100 meters and won numerous awards. In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games 100-meter flyer battle, Powell and Bolt competed on the same stage, at that time Bolt ran the Olympic record of 9.69 seconds, far exceeding Powell's record of 9.77 seconds, while Powell failed to play ideally, only ran the fifth place of 9.95 seconds. However, in the next 4×100m relay, Powell turned the tide and worked side by side with his teammates, breaking the record and winning the Olympic gold medal with a time of 37.10 seconds.
Born into a Christian missionary family, Powell's meek and peaceful personality was influenced by his family, but this did not affect his speed of playing like a wind. He is not a short-lived athlete, but a figure who has been active in the medal table of the major 100-meter races for many years, and Powell was criticized in his early years of athletics training: no athletic talent. So when he had been training for 10 years with other 100-meter athletes, Powell had just been tapped by the coach and trained. Powell has also been grateful to his coach, Stephen Francis.
Powell is competitive and has been looking for opportunities to catch up after Bolt broke his record, "My previous goal has always been 9.7 seconds, and Bolt has broken through this limit, so my goal is 9.5 seconds. "That's what Powell promised before he went to london. However, it backfired, and Powell ultimately failed to fulfill this wish.
Powell also said that he had been lazy before Bolt set a world record of 9.58 seconds and did not complete the training on time, and after Bolt set the record, Powell changed his previous laziness and training to surpass Bolt's 9.58 seconds. Powell is about to retire, but he still has not given up the hope of challenging Bolt, and put this hope on his sons, hoping that one day his sons can surpass Bolt and continue their glory.
