Galvão Bueno has been the main voice of major sporting events on Globo in Brazil for decades, narrating World Cups and Olympic Games. During the Rio 2016 Olympics, his commentary on Usain Bolt's races became part of how Brazilian viewers remember the Jamaican sprinter's final Olympic appearance. Short clips of his most emphatic lines later circulated on soundboards and social media, detached from the full broadcast. This one survives because lenda sums up Bolt's status in a single word that fans reuse for other great athletes.
