Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt is undoubtedly the greatest sprinter in the history of mankind. A living legend, he has won nine gold medals in track and field events in Olympics; a feat which no other person had achieved before. He has achieved the ‘triple-triple’ and is the first man to win gold medals at three consecutive ‘Olympic Games’ in 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay events. He won these events at the 2008 ‘Beijing Olympics,’ 2012 ‘London Olympics,’ and 2016 ‘Rio Olympics.’ During his early days as a runner, he didn’t really believe in his abilities and was quite laid back with his approach towards sports. However, over the years, many coaches whom he teamed up with shaped him into a great runner. This talented athlete’s career suffered a setback when he was eliminated in the first round of the 200m event at the 2004 ‘Athens Olympics.’ But Bolt didn't give up and made a comeback with outstanding performances. He made his mark in the 2008 ‘Beijing Olympics’ where he won gold medals in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m events. He repeated this feat at the 2012 ‘London Olympics’ and 2016 ‘Rio Olympics’ and cemented his place as the greatest sprinter in the history of modern Olympics.
