Hello everyone,
Kriss Akabusi talks about Edwin Moses referring to the 1984 Olympic games.
"You got a feeling then that this was a guy could **destroy the, the event** if he wanted to. He had an aura about him. It was just like a man who was in the zone, in his moment. And it was effortless"
What does "destroy the event" mean?
Thank you.
