I’m going to write here some info about the fastest runner
in the world since I don’t have anything else to write about. His name is Usain
Bolt he is incredible athletic human being. Born 21 August 1986 is a Jamaican
sprinter. Bolt holds the Olympic and world records for the 100 meters at 9.69
seconds, the 200 meters at 19.30 seconds and, along with his teammates, the
4x100 meters relay at 37.10 seconds, all set at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Bolt
became the first man to win all three events at a single Olympics since Carl
Lewis in 1984, and the first man in history to set world records in all three
at a single Olympics. His name and achievements in sprinting have earned him
the media nickname "lightning' Bolt". Bolt turned professional in
2004 but missed most of his first two seasons due to injuries; he was
eliminated in the first round of the 200 m heats at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
In 2007, Bolt beat Don Quarries’ 200 m Jamaican national record with a run of
19.75 s. In May 2008, Bolt set his first 100 m world record with a time of 9.72
s, improving upon his previous personal best of 9.76 s which was made earlier
in the month. As a result of Bolt's successes in athletics, he was named the
Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for 2009.
