Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt is the fastest man alive, as he owns both the 100m and 200m world records. His 100m time of 9.72s was actually impeded by an untied shoelace, and he appeared to let up at the end of the race.

About Usain Bolt

Born: Usain St. Leo Bolt, August 21, 1986, Trelawny, Jamaica

Known for: Jamaican sprinter and three time gold medal winner at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and world record holder for the 100m and 200m.

At the earliest age, Usain Bolt was breaking records as a junior sprinter. His record breaking times in the 100m and 200m secured him a spot on the Jamaican Olympic squad, but a hamstring injury caused him to get disappointing times in the 2004 Athens Olympics. By the 2008 games in Beijing, Usain's times had improved considerably and he broke both the 100m and 200m world records and is the first sprinter to break both records at the same Olympics. With competitions that have followed, Bolt has trimmed down his times making his records even harder to beat.

Usain is a big fan of cricket and footall (soccer). His favorite team is Manchester United; he met the team at their training ground and offered Portuguese national Cristiano Ronaldo some sprinting advice. Bolt is sponsored by PUMA and frequently sports their clothes appears in their ads.

Here's a series of PUMA commercials featuring Usain Bolt.
