Robert Esmie, Olympic Gold Medalist - Toronto Legends

What this episode covers

Sprinter and 4x100m Relay Olympic Gold Medalist Robert Esmie talks about why if you're Canadian you have to love Saturday nights in Georgia, a breakdown of that immortal 4x100m relay to win gold at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, his 'forever bond' with Donovan Bailey/Bruny Surin/Glenroy Gilbert/Carlton Chambers/Don Wittman, his interactions with PM Jean Chretien/Gordie Howe/Wayne Gretzky/Ron MacLean/Pinball Clemons/Carl Lewis/Michael Johnson, why HE is actually faster out of the blocks than Ben Johnson, at the age of 52 still getting challenged to race by young punks, and why the world wants [no, needs!] a Ben Johnson vs Carl Lewis throwback rematch!
