“Where were you when Bolt broke the 9.6 secs barrier?” It was a moment in history which will be long remembered, perhaps in the way that John F Kennedy’s assassination has been remebered? Certainly John Regis thought so in his piece in last Monday’s Guardian (17.08.09). For the record: back in November 1963 I was at the Birmingham Hippodrome and was told the news from Dallas as I left the theatre. And no, I cannot remember what show we’d gone to see!
