IOC president Jacques Rogge wants to set the record straight: Usain Bolt is an "active" legend and the best sprinter ever. Rogge raised eyebrows earlier this week when he said the Jamaican runner needed to prove his greatness over more than two Olympics before achieving his self-proclaimed status of "living legend." On Sunday, Rogge relented a bit and came up with a different wording for the six-time gold medalist. "I mean this is purely a semantic issue," he said. "Let me finalize this issue as follows: to say that Usain Bolt is an active performance legend, he is an icon, he is the best sprinter of all time." Bolt won the 100 and 200 meters at the London Olympics, becoming the first athlete to sweep both events at consecutive Games, and anchored the Jamaican team to a world record in the 4x100-meter relay Saturday night. After the relay, Bolt said: "The next time you see him (Rogge) I think you need to ask him what Usain needs to do that no human man has ever done."
