USAIN BOLT THE FASTEST MAN IN THE WORLD

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world,
winning three gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in
Beijing, China, and becoming the first man in Olympic
history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in
record times.
Usain Bolt was born in Jamaica on August 21, 1986. Bolts
natural speed was noticed by coaches at school. As early as
age 14, Bolt won his first high school championships medal
in 2001, taking the silver in the 200-meter race. At the age of
15, Bolt had his first success on the world stage at the 2002
World Junior Championships in Kingston, Jamaica, where he
won the 200-meter dash, making him the youngest worldjunior gold medalist ever. Bolts feats impressed the athletics world, and he received the
International Association of Athletics Foundations Rising Star Award that year and soon was
given the apt nickname Lightning Bolt.
Bolt won his fourth Olympic gold medal in the mens 100-meter race at the 2012
Summer Olympic Games in London. He ran the race in 9.63 seconds, a new Olympic record,
making him the first man in history to set three world records in a single Olympic Games
competition. The win marked Bolts second consecutive gold medal in the 100. Bolt went on to
compete in the mens 200, claiming his second consecutive gold medal in that race. He is the
first man to win both the 100 and 200 at consecutive Olympic Games, as well as the first man to
ever win back-to-back gold medals in double sprints.
Following his 200 meters, in an interview with CBS News, Bolt detailed his pride over his
2012 performance: Its what I came here to do. Im now a legend. Im also the greatest athlete
to live. Ive got nothing left to prove.
