Olympics

I watch next to nothing of the events, but a question popped into my head the other day when sprinting was on. I was curious what ever happened to Usain Bolt. As I remember, he was very fast and had dominated for quite some time. Any way, when I got to looking, I found this quote: "Usain Bolt made his first appearance at the Summer Olympics in 2004. He was just 18 years old and nursing a hamstring injury, and he failed to even make it out of his heat in the 200-meter dash. Then, of course, he went on to sweep the 100 and 200 in three consecutive Olympics, and become arguably the most dominant sprinter of all time. Bolt has since retired, and the Tokyo Olympics will be the first in more than two decades without him." If his first Olympic appearance was in 2004, shouldn't that last sentence be something like, "the Tokyo Olympics will be the first in almost two decades without him?"

You would think so, in the same way that cashiers should be able to make change. :sigh:

Off by one error after a div 4. Classic mistake. We've all done it, right?

At one stage he was playing soccer for a B grade team near Sydney.

Looks like he's doing music now[^]. Sounds like there's a vocoder involved rather than singing talent but maybe I am wrong.
Probably [Auto-tune](https://www.antarestech.com/product/auto-tune-pro/). not bad, but not ground breaking or inspiring music (from that single sample)

Given the last Olympics without Usain Bolt was in 2000 the statement "the Tokyo Olympics will be the first in more than two decades without him." appears correct to me.

The last Olympics with him was in 2016. The first one without him was in 2020. You don't reference someone's career before it ever starts.

Sadly, the editor swears he is absolutely correct by saying, "The last Olympics without him were the 2000 Sydney Games, 21 years ago." Heck, the first Olympics without him were the 1896 Olympics in Athens, 124 years ago, but that seems equally as silly.
