Usain Bolt – a Biography
Usain Bolt – A biography Usain Saint Leo Bolt was born on the 21st of August 1986 in Sherwood Content, a small town in Trelawny, Jamaica. He is a World and Olympic champion sprinter and many people believe he is the fastest person ever, which has earned him the nickname ‘Lightning Bolt’! Usain Bolt grew up with his parents, Wellesley and Jennifer Bolt, his brother Sadiki and his sister Sherine. His parents ran the local grocery store. Bolt’s family attended the local Catholic church and even today he still makes the sign of the cross before all of his major events. As a boy all of Bolt’s free time was spent playing cricket and football in the street with his brother. He was sports mad ! As a child, Bolt attended Waldensia Primary, where he first began to show his sprinting potential, running in the annual, national primary-schools' meeting for his area. By the age of twelve, Bolt had become the school's fastest runner over 100 metres. Usain’s father, Wellesley put his speed down to ‘Yam Power’! (Yams are an important part of the Jamaican diet.) Bolt went to William Knibb Memorial High School, where he still enjoyed playing team sports, but he was such a fast sprinter his teachers encouraged him to try track and field events. The school had a history of success in athletics with past students, so he was in good hands, winning his first medal, silver, in the high school championships in 2001. Bolt was so good that a former Olympic sprinter, Pablo McNeil decided to train him. -
Mix Includes Exclusive Track by Dancehall Star Mavado Jamaica
NIKE RELEASES ASAFA POWELL’S TRAIN FOR SPEED WORKOUT ON ITUNES Mix Includes Exclusive Track by Dancehall Star Mavado Nike and Olympic sprinter Asafa Powell have teamed up with Reggae label VP Records to create a Nike Sport Music workout featuring the exclusive track, “On The Go (Faster Than Bullet),” by one of the athlete’s favorite artists, Mavado. Called Asafa Powell: Train for Speed, the 35-minute interval workout is coached by Asafa over a reggae/dancehall soundtrack. Among the genre-defining songs included on the mix are some of reggae’s greatest artists of the past, present, and future, providing a musical backdrop for running that is both unique and effective. After all, two of Jamaica’s greatest exports are music and sprinters—it was only a matter of time before they came together in one pulse-pounding project. The only athlete to have run the 100-meter dash in under 9.8 seconds more than once (he did it five times), Asafa Powell knows speed. He has distinguished himself as one of the world’s fastest humans, having held the world record in the 100 for three years, from 2005-2008. In the Asafa Powell: Train for Speed workout, Asafa coaches runners through a 35-minute training session with four high-speed intervals that descend in length. The goal of the workout is to increase an athlete’s endurance and speed, with musical motivation coming from the athlete’s homeland. Reggae music is often associated with laid-back island rhythms, but there are several subgenres that up the tempo to a runner’s pace, including dancehall, a style that has been influential on hip-hop since its inception. -

Magerman Wins 400-Hurdles at Southern Region Champs
Magerman wins 400-hurdles at Southern Region Champs South Africa’s Olympic Youth champion, Gezelle Magerman (Tuks/HPC), won the 400-hurdles at the CAA Southern Region Under-20 Championships in Lusaka. “Naturally I would have loved to have won in a faster time than 59.18s, but for now I will take it. “I see this year as a ‘bridging’ year, coming from high school, going to university. It is quite a change because suddenly you have to take responsibility for everything you do or don’t do. Luckily I managed to find a balance between training and studying. Magerman’s big goal is to win a medal at next month’s IAAF Junior World Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland. “I am not an athlete who believes in setting myself ‘exotic’ goals as far time is concerned. I prefer chipping away at my time, slowly working towards running that one near perfect race. If I can run 57.90s before the end of the year I will be more than satisfied,” said Magerman whose best time last year was 58.81s. According to Magerman, the fact that she trains with the South African champion, Wenda Nel (Tuks/HPC), helps a lot. “Training with Wenda is like having a barometer that gives me a good indication of where I am as an athlete.” ***On Friday, at the Adidas Boston Games, the world champion, Wayde van Niekerk, won the 400 metres in 44.28s. Caribbean athlete Machel Cedonio from Trinidad and Tobago finished second in 44.87s and America’s David Verburg rounded off the podium in 44.98s. -

All Time Men's World Ranking Leader
All Time Men’s World Ranking Leader EVER WONDER WHO the overall best performers have been in our authoritative World Rankings for men, which began with the 1947 season? Stats Editor Jim Rorick has pulled together all kinds of numbers for you, scoring the annual Top 10s on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis. First, in a by-event compilation, you’ll find the leaders in the categories of Most Points, Most Rankings, Most No. 1s and The Top U.S. Scorers (in the World Rankings, not the U.S. Rankings). Following that are the stats on an all-events basis. All the data is as of the end of the 2019 season, including a significant number of recastings based on the many retests that were carried out on old samples and resulted in doping positives.

Can Jamaica do it? 4) No European won medal at both 100m and 200m? Can Lemaitre change that?
