The Bolt enigma 'explained'
The reason Usain Bolt, with 20 metres from the tape, shut down the engines and coasted to a mere 9.69 second world record is the subject of much debate.
Pundits tender all manner of reasons:
A primal fear of going too fast.
Youthful jesting.
Arrogance.
Considering stopping to tie his shoelace.
Concern that he might not have sufficient stopping distance.
I suggest the real reason is that the man suffers from monophobia - a fear of being alone.
Mr Bolt, get used to it. This is going to be a way of life for you.
