Donovan Bailey, World’s Fastest Man

Two-time Olympic Champion/three-time World Champion Sprinter Donovan Bailey talks about solo vs team gold medals at Atlanta in 1996, his better-late-than-never appointment to the Order of Canada, being drafted by the BC Lions, his thoughts 25 years after the 150m SkyDome race against Michael Johnson, the enduring legacies of announcers Geoff Gowan and Don Wittman, meeting Nelson Mandela and Muhammad Ali, the 3rd season of his podcast Running Things, his continued mentorship by Coach Dan Pfaff, why he is the ‘Don of Muskoka,’ and why you never put a HOT mic in front of a HOT man [spoiler alert: “he’s a chicken, let’s race again so I can kick his butt again!”]

TORONTO LEGENDS is hosted by Andrew Applebaum.
