100m
In the 1896 Greece Games, Tom Burke of the United States clocked 12 secs to clinch 100m Gold. A century later Bolt will have clinched Gold and flown all the way back to Jamaica in that time.
200m
And oh you Generation Z'ers, have you heard of the greats - Pietro Mennea, Carl Lewis, Florence Griffith Joyner & Michael Johnson?
400m
American Tom Burke's 1896 Gold winning effort of 54.2 secs wouldn't have been sufficient to beat any Female 400m Bronze medalist.
Long Jump
Winning Gold at the games is an achievement, but to do it four times in a row is simply unbelievable. Carl Lewis did just that, bagging the Gold in the 1984, '88, '92 & '96 games. Read more about Carl and other ridiculous dudes here.
High Jump
Iolanda Balas of Romania won high jump Gold at the '60 & '64 games. She was the first Romanian woman to win an Olympic gold medal and is considered to have been one of the greatest high jumpers of the twentieth century. And have you heard of the guy who could have won Gold if not for 'urgent matters'? :-)
Triple Jump
The United States may have won the most number of medals at the Triple Jump event but they have had severe medal droughts in their Olympic Triple Jump history.
Pole Vault
Win every other championship in style and kill everybody's hopes on you at the Olympics. That's Sergey Bubka for you Ladies & Gentlemen.
Javelin Throw
Barbora Spotakova of Czechoslovakia, the Gold medalist of the 2008 and 2012 games, is the current World record holder. Can she make it 3 in a row at Rio? There you go, we've jinxed her!
