  • 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.
