At the water polo stadium, the players...jump into the pool and swim toward opposite ends. The whistle blows, the ball is dropped between the teams, and they swim toward the center. All the while, the theme from “Jaws” plays over the speaker system. This repeats at the beginning of every period, multiple times a day.

PRESS RELEASE
Berlin, 23 August 2009 – After his sensational world records at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin, Germany’s capital paid a special tribute to Usain Bolt, presenting him an original piece of the Berlin Wall. In memory of his outstanding performances in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m finals, the Mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit bestowed the fastest man on earth with an individually designed concrete segment of the Berlin Wall 20 years after its fall. The unique souvenir has a height of about 3.60 meters and a width of 1.20 metres and weighs 2.7 tons. It was designed exclusively for Usain Bolt by the young Leipzig artist Abraham using aerosol technique. The front displays Usain Bolt on his way to break the 100 m world record on the legendary blue of the tracks of the Berlin stadium.
Following the World Championships, Usain Bolt’s wall piece “Breakin’ the Wall” will also be available as a china miniature and part of the edition Visible Wall with legendary designs of wall art and the history of the German reunification.
