My Take
Renaldo Nehemiah is, to me, one of track and field's true frontiersmen. Becoming the first man to run the 110m hurdles under 13 seconds, and holding world number one for four straight years, is not merely being fast; it is sustained dominance of a brutal event. What fascinates me most is his nerve in switching to American football and reaching the NFL afterward. Walking away from mastery to start again from zero takes a rare kind of courage, very much in keeping with that Aries appetite for challenge. I hold genuine respect for a man who reset the very standard of speed.
