| Usain Bolt with the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics |
Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet. He is the first man to hold both the 100m and 200m records since automatic timing measurements was made compulsory in 1977. He also has the world record in the 4x100m relay with his teammates.
The Lightning Bolt is the first man to win six Olympic gold medals in sprinting. He is also an eight-time World Champion.
The Jamaican’s impressive record is emphasised by the fact that he successfully defended his three gold medals that he won in Beijing (100m, 200m and 4x100m relay) in the 2012 London Olympics.
He set the world record in 100m at the Berlin World Championship in 2009 with a timing of 9.58 seconds. He then went on to the world record in the 200m with a timing of 19.19 seconds.
Bolt was named IAAF World Athlete of the year in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Bolt was also named the Laureus World Sportsman of the year in 2009, 2010 and 2013.
