THE BOLT SUPREMACY - Richard Moore

Of the ten fastest 100-metres times in history, eight belong to Jamaicans.
How is it that a small Caribbean island has come to almost totally dominate
the men’s and women’s sprint events?

Richard Moore’s The Bolt Supremacy opens the door to a community where sprinting permeates conversations and interactions; where the high school championships is watched by 35,000 screaming fans; where identity, success and status are forged on the track; and where making it as a pro is a pass to a world of adoration and lucrative contracts.
