=====================
Usain St. Leo Bolt, (Born
on 21 August 1986) is
a Jamaican retired sprinter, widely considered to be the greatest sprinter of
all time. He is the world record holder of 100
metres, 200 metres and 4 × 100 metres relay.
Early years
Bolt was born on 21 August 1986 to
parents Wellesley and Jennifer Bolt in Sherwood Content, a small town in
Jamaica. He has a brother Sadiki and a sister Sherine. His parents ran the
local grocery store in the rural area, and Bolt spent his time playing cricket
and football in the street with his brother later saying, "When I was
young, I didn't really think about anything other than sports. As a child, Bolt
attended Waldensia Primary, where he began showing his sprint potential when he
ran in his parish's annual national primary school meet. By the age of twelve,
Bolt had become the school's fastest runner over the 100 metres distance.
Success Starts:
On May 3, 2008, he lowered his best time
to 9.76 sec, then the world’s second fastest mark. Four weeks later in New York
City, Bolt broke the world record, running 9.72 sec to defeat world champion
Tyson Gay.
Bolt was the heavy favourite in the sprint events heading into the 2011 world championships, but a false start disqualified him from the 100-metre final. Despite failing to medal in his signature race, Bolt recovered to capture golds in the 200 metres and the 4 × 100-metre relay, helping to set a new world record in the latter event. At the 2012 Olympics in London, Bolt defended his titles in the 100-metre and 200-metre events (setting an Olympic record in the former) to become the first person to win both races in consecutive Olympiads. In 2013 he won three gold medals at the world championships (100 metres, 200 metres, and 4 × 100-metre relay).
At the 2015 world championships Bolt
again won gold medals in his three signature events (100 metres, 200 metres,
and 4 × 100-metre relay), and his fourth career 200-metre gold extended his
record for most wins in that race at the world championships. He cemented his
role as the best sprinter in history at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games,
where he captured golds in the 100-metre, 200-metre, and 4 × 100-metre relay
events, becoming the first person to win golds in the two individual sprints in
three straight Olympics. He retired from athletics after the 2017 world
championships, where he won a bronze medal in the 100-metre sprint and finished
in eighth place as a member of the 4 × 100-metre relay team after injuring a
hamstring during the final.
World Records:
* Bolt improved upon his second 100 m
world record of 9.69 with 9.58 seconds in 2009 –
the biggest improvement since the start of electronic timing.
* He has twice broken the 200 metres world
record, setting 19.30 in 2008 and 19.19 in 2009.
* He has helped Jamaica to three 4 × 100 metres relay world records, with the current record being 36.84 seconds set in 2012.
On 17 May 2020, Bolt's longtime
girlfriend Kasi Bennett gave birth to their first child, a daughter named
Olympia Lightning Bolt. Bolt and Bennett welcomed twin boys named Saint Leo and
Thunder in June 2021.
Other Sports
Cricket was the first sport to interest
Bolt, and he said if he were not a sprinter, he would be a fast bowler instead.
As a child, he admired the bowling of Waqar Younis. He is also a fan of Indian
batsman Sachin Tendulkar, West Indian opener Chris Gayle, and Australian opener
Matthew Hayden. During a charity cricket match, Bolt clean-bowled Gayle who was
complimentary of Bolt's pace and swing. Bolt also struck a six off Gayle's
bowling.
