USAIN BOLT JAMAICAN
FORMER
SPRINTER

Usain
St
Leo
Bolt
is
known
as
the
most naturally
gifted
athlete
the
world
has ever
seen
and
this
was
confirmed
when he
won
three
gold
medals
at
the
2008 Olympics
Games
in
Beijing,
China. The
2008
Olympic
Games
were approaching
and
Usain
announced
that he
would
run
both
the
100m
and
200m, and
was
picked
to
win
both.
The
200m and
400m
record
holder,
Michael Johnson
supported
Usain
saying
that
he did
not
believe
his
lack
of
experience
would
work
against
him.
Usain
ran
a
time
of
9.92
seconds
in
quarter- finals
and
9.85
seconds
in
semifinals.
The
time
for
Usain
to
shine
was upon
him,
and
he
didnt
look
back.
In
the
finals
he
broke
new
ground, winning
in
9.69
seconds
with
second
place
Richard
Thompson
who finished
in
9.89
seconds.
Not
only
was
the
record
set
with
+0.0m/s wind,
but
he
without
a
doubt
slowed
down
to
celebrate
his
win
before he
crossed
the
finish
line.
After
the
win
in
the
100m,
it
was
then
time
to refocus
on
the
200m,
attempting
to
emulate
Carl
Lewis
double
win
in the
1984
Los
Angeles
Olympics.
The
next
day,
he
won
Jamaicas
fourth gold
at
the
Olympics
with
a
new
World
and
Olympic
record
of
19.30 seconds.
He
was
the
first
sprinter
since
Quarrie
to
hold
both
100m
and 200m
world
records
simultaneously
and
the
first
since
the
introduction of
electronic
timing.
By
winning
three
gold
medals
at
the
2013
World Championships,
Usain
became
one
of
the
most
successful
athletes
in the
30-year
history
of
the
worlds
championship.
In
February
2015, Usain
announced
that
he
attends
to
retire
from
athletics
after
the
2017 World
Championships
in
London.
Usain
is
available
for
public appearances,
sporting
events
and
sports
clinics.
