13. Usain Bolt proves he's still the fastest man alive

Date: August 14, 2016

What made the moment: The title of "Fastest Man Alive" is one of the most sought-after in all of sport, elevating its holder to something closer to a superhero than merely an athlete. For three straight Summer Olympics, Usain Bolt proved to the world that no one could move through space faster, taking home golds in the 100 meters, 200, and 4x100 in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.

While he was always fast, the image of him smiling as he left his opponents in the dust during the 2016 Summer Games struck a particular chord with fans watching at home, grinning with the knowledge that no matter how his fellow sprinters tried, they stood no chance of catching him.
