Faster than the speed of Fire !

Inglês

" Faster, Higher, Stronger " is one of the mottos of the Olympic Games adopted by Pierre de Coubertin.

I would like to add three other adjectives : " more challenging, more awe-inspiring and more spectacular " , having in mind ,the 2016 Paralympic Games that will be starting  in Rio de Janeiro soon !

Why has Nissan Motor Company chosen this Jamaican athlete to perform in this video ?

Do you believe Usain Bolt can really run faster than the speed of  fire ?

What's your opinion about this Jamaican runner's decision to retire after his gold medals at the 2016 Olympic Games ?  

How can this Motor Company profit from this runner's fame  and qualities ?

How about Nissan's motto at the end of the video ? Do you like it ?

Very interesting comparison between the human being speed and the fire. Nissan did a good job to prove that their cars can go as fast as Bolt can. Bolt is an exceptional athlete of running. He has become a legend of this kind of sport. Good job dearest teacher!
