USAIN BOLT





Usain Bolt was born 21 August 1986 in Trelawny, Jamaica. He is the world and olympic champion. Bolt turned pro in 2004. Since a young age, people knew he was to be a great talent. He broke Jamaican records and Youth records, it would'nt be long until he will become a world wide competitor. The World Championships in Daegu are near and Bolt will be looking to break records and entertain the crowd. His biggest rival will be fellow Jamaican Asafa Powell.

Interesting facts:
- He ate chicken nuggets before breaking the 100m world record at the Olympics.
- His sponsor Puma give him a six figure bonus every time he breaks the world record, this is maybe  why he slows down so he can break it again.
- He was the first junior to run under 20sec in the 200m.
- His average speed is 23.35mph.
- Bolt has won 11 golds, 4 silvers and 1 bronze.
