Pietro Paolo Mennea (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpjɛtro menˈnɛa]; born June 28, 1952) is an Italian former sprinter and politician, who was the 1980 Moscow Olympic 200 meter Champion, and also held the 200 m world record for 17 years.
Mennea, who was born in Barletta, started his long international athletic career in 1971, where he won the first of his 14 Italian outdoor titles in the 100/200. He went on to win 2 Indoor titles at 60/400, along with 5 Mediterranean Games Golds in 100/200. He competed at the European Championships with a third place in the 4 x 100 m relay. He made his Olympic debut at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, where he made the final of the 200 m, his strongest event. He crossed the line in third place, behind Valeri Borzov and Larry Black. Three more Olympic 200 metre finals would follow later in his career.
At the 1974 European Championships, Mennea claimed the 200 m gold in front of his home crowd in Rome, while also placing second behind Borzov in the 100 m and the 4 x 100 m. After some poor performances in the 1976 Olympic season, Mennea decided to skip the Olympics, but when the Italian public protested Mennea went to Montreal. He did make it to the final of the 200 m, but saw Don Quarrie take the gold, leaving the Italian in fourth. He again placed fourth when the Italian relay team just missed out on the bronze.
The Honourable Usain St. Leo Bolt, OJ, C.D. ( /ˈjuːseɪn/; born 21 August 1986), is a Jamaican sprinter and a five-time World and three-time Olympic gold medalist. He is the world record and Olympic record holder in the 100 metres, the 200 metres and (along with his teammates) the 4×100 metres relay. He is the reigning Olympic champion in these three events, and is one of only seven athletes (along with Valerie Adams, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Jacques Freitag, Yelena Isinbayeva, Jana Pittman, Dani Samuels) to win world championships at the youth, junior, and senior level of an athletic event.
Bolt won a 200 m gold medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships, making him the competition's youngest-ever gold medalist at the time (since surpassed by Jacko Gill). In 2004, at the CARIFTA Games, he became the first junior sprinter to run the 200 m in less than 20 seconds with a time of 19.93 s, breaking the previous world junior record held by Roy Martin by two-tenths of a second. He turned professional in 2004, and although he competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics, he missed most of the next two seasons due to injuries. In 2007, he broke Don Quarrie's 200 m Jamaican record with a run of 19.75 s.

Arthur&Sherlock;
I'm sorry for what I've done
I know I've hurt everyone
It's time for me to change
And become a betterman
I've lived too many lives
I've told too many lies
I hope I can change
And become a betterman
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry
I wish it was a different story
I wish I was a betterman
I live in the third degree
It always tortures me
I need to leave this place
And become a betterman
I'm searchin' for sympathy
But, it never follows me
It's time for me to change
And become a betterman
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry
I said things that I wish that I never said
Tired of sleeping inside my head
When will things be as they were before?
Woken up from a dream to find
I've lost everything that I had
Swept under a welcome mat
Will they forgive me
When I'm a betterman?
I'm shedding my extra skin
I'm taking the wrong medicine
If I disappear now
Am I a betterman?
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry
I got a real good woman now
Someone between a lover and a friend
It feels good when she's around
Cause she's so far from all the others that I've been with
Cause I thought I knew what love was but it wasn't until she came and changed my life
And now I realize that
All the love in this world, I wanna give to this girl because she makes me wanna be a better man
And all the games I've played are in the pass
Because I know this one's gonna last
It's crazy how she makes me wanna be a better man for her
When I look into her eyes I see
So much in her that reminds me of myself in awe
She's so beautiful body soul and mind and I
Just wanna be the one to make her feel good in a special way
I'm a hu and kiss her and tell her how much I miss her when she's gone
Cause I know that I wll never find another one like her at all
When it's said and done you wanna
Be with someone who's gonna
Be there for you when all your chips are down
and no one's around and when
No matter how hard it gets she will always be by your side
To comfort you like only a woman does and that's why

Wild is the sky that covers you
Long be the night that comforts you
Don't kiss a day confronting you
And pushing you
There's a face in the mirror
That I don't understand
See the one that I wear
Is not who I am
I've made up my mind
And I want to stay
Wild is the sky that covers you
Long be the night that comforts you
Don't kiss a day confronting you
And pushing you
You're such a bitterman
Doing all that you can
In the name of fun
Just a bitterman
Taking all that you can
Oh, for number one
There's no confusion, only black
Questions left to ask like am I coming back?
