a guy comes along who is special

As a former sprinter, what did you think of Usain Bolt’s performance?
It was spectacular. I thought that Michael Johnson’s record would be very difficult to break. Bolt has done something no-one has ever done. It was a unique moment for an athlete who has worked very hard. Once in a while a guy comes along who is special.
