Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt is the first man to ever hold both the 100-metre and 200-metre world records simultaneously and the only sprinter to win gold medals in these events in three straight Olympic Games. He also raced for 4 x 100-metre gold medals. He reached a speed of 27.8 mph during his world record 100-metre, the fastest recorded human speed of all time. He stands 6’5″ and weighs 207 pounds, very tall for a sprinter. He was the youngest-ever male world junior champion in any event at age 15 and the youngest ever Olympic gold medallist in sprinting at age 19. After his running career, he signed for a professional soccer league in Australia and scored a few goals before retiring. He is the highest paid sprinter of all time, with a net worth of nearly $100 million.

His achievements as a sprinter have earned him the media nickname “Lightning Bolt”, and his awards include the IAAF World Athlete of the Year, Track & Field Athlete of the Year, BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year (three times), and Laureus World Sportsman of the Year (four times).
