davidsonbrandon+FollowHow Eddie Tolan’s quirks changed sprinting foreverEddie Tolan, the “Midnight Express,” didn’t just break records—he broke the mold. Imagine sprinting to Olympic gold with taped-up glasses and a mouthful of gum! Tolan’s unique habits weren’t just for show: chewing gum helped him sync his stride and calm his nerves, while taped glasses kept his vision sharp mid-race. At just 5’6”, he stunned the world at the 1932 Olympics, setting a new record and becoming the first non-Euro-American to be crowned the world’s fastest human. Tolan’s story is a reminder that sometimes, our quirks are our superpowers. What routines or odd habits help you perform at your best? #Sports #EddieTolan #OlympicLegend00Share
