About This Reader
Usain Bolt was born on August 21, 1986, in Sherwood Content, a small town in Jamaica. As a child, he was more interested in cricket than running, but his incredible speed on the cricket field led his coaches to encourage him to try track and field.
Bolt burst onto the international scene at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where he won gold medals in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay, all in world record times. Standing at 6'5" (1.95m), Bolt was unusually tall for a sprinter, but he used his long stride to great advantage.
Known as "Lightning Bolt," he dominated sprinting for a decade, winning eight Olympic gold medals and holding world records in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay. Bolt was also famous for his charismatic personality and his signature "Lightning Bolt" pose.
Although he retired from competitive running in 2017, Usain Bolt remains an inspiration to athletes worldwide. He showed that with natural talent, hard work, and a positive attitude, it's possible to achieve seemingly impossible goals.
