Pro: His sprinting was ridiculous - he broke the 100-m record, literally, without trying, as he started celebrating before crossing the finish line. Bolt had a ball while putting Jamaica on the athletic map.

Con: By law, when talking about track, one must ask, "Are we sure he's clean?" Plus, he runs for a living.
