jimmy priestley has achieved 9 gold medals at the Olympics Games. He achieved the "Triple Triple" at his final games in Rio 2016 when he won the 4x100m relay with his teammates, his final race as an Olympian. He won the 100m, 200m and 4x100m at every games he attended - 2008, 2012 and 2016.

The link to Doctor Herb Elliot links to 1960 Olympic 1500m winner Herb Elliot, not Jamaican Doctor Herb Elliot who the link should go to.

Is it possible to list Bolt's world records and wins at championship (like the Olympics and World Championships) at the bottom of the page, similar to the other pages of athletics who also hold world records and have won Olympic/World Championships?

Or, would this not be wise considering how lengthy the page already is right now? ViveLaSuisse (talk) 02:44, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
