Usain bolt birthday , career , history
Usain St. Leo Bolt OJ CD OLY (/jusen/; born August 21, 1986) is a retired Jamaican sprinter widely regarded as the best of all time.[13][14][15] In the 100, 200, and 4 x 100-meter relay, he holds the world records.
Bolt, an eight-time Olympic gold medalist, is the first sprinter to have won the 100-meter and 200-meter Olympic titles in three back-to-back Games (2008, 2012, and 2016). He also won two gold medals in the 4 100 relay. He became famous all around the globe after winning two sprint events in Olympic world records in the 2008 Beijing Games, becoming the first person to accomplish so since fully automatic timing became required.
He won consecutive gold medals in the 100-meter, 200-meter, and four-by-one-hundred-meter relay World Championships from 2009 to 2015, with the exception of a 100-meter false start in 2011. He was an 11-time World Champion. He is the World Championships' most successful male athlete. Bolt is one of the most successful athletes in the 100 m with three titles and is the first person to win four World Championship titles in the 200 m.
The biggest improvement since the introduction of electronic timing was made by Bolt in 2009, when he lowered his second 100 m world record time of 9.69 seconds to 9.58. He established the 200-meter world record at 19.30 in 2008 and 19.19 in 2009, respectively. The current record for the 4 x 100-meter relay is held by Jamaica, and it was set in 2012 with a time of 36.84 seconds thanks to his assistance. With three Olympic and four World titles, the 200 m is Bolt's most successful competition. He had previously won multiple 200 m medals, including silver at the 2007 World Championship, and had held the world under-20 and world under-18 marks for the race until Erriyon Knighton beat them in 2021. His 100 m international debut came at the 2008 Olympics.
He has received numerous honors, including the IAAF World Athlete of the Year, Track & Field Athlete of the Year, BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year (twice), and Laureus World Sportsman of the Year (four times), all because to his sprinting prowess. He is known in the media as "Lightning Bolt" for this reason. Bolt was listed among Time magazine's 2016 list of the 100 Most Influential People.[16] Bolt announced his retirement following the 2017 World Championships, where he placed third in his final 100 m solo race, chose to forego the 200 m, and suffered an injury during the 4100 m relay final.
