Usain Bolt - World's Fastest Man

The famous sprinter from Jamaica, is known because of his domination in the 100 and 200 metres competitions, leading to 3 world records in the first category and two in the second. Jamaica, also the homeland of a world record setting sprinter Asaf Powell, has enjoyed the class of the 1.96 metres man, who only weighs 86 kilos, whose success resets Jamaica on the map of countries with popular sport athletes, admired in the whole world. Early in his youth, it became clear he would be one of the greatest ever, breaking lots of records in junior competitions in the categories 100 and 200 metres sprint. When his first Oplympics 2004 started with a breakdown in the forerun because of a injury of his calf, he was utterly frustrated. In the year of 2006, he nearly beat the record set in the Athletissima meeting, one year later he succeded and became the third fastest man in the world, at an age of 20. In the May of 2008 he showed an increasing fitness by setting new personal bests in the 100 metres sprint. The summer olympics 2008 finally lead to his best 100 metres performance ever, coming along with a time of 9,69 seconds and the new world record, the first Olympic gold medal of the 100 metres sprint won by a Jamaican. The most impressing fact is, he ran part of the distance with undone laces and slowed down at the end to wide his arms and celebrate his safe win. He also won the 200 metres sprint, facing headwind. 2009 no on in the world could doubt his greatness, because he even improved his time by setting a new world record on the 100 metres, 9.58 seconds, reached in World Championships in Athletics in Berlin, when everyone expecting him to succed as he did. He didn't let anyone down. His second competition, the 200 metres also lead to a new world record and now he earned himselfthe title of the world's fastest man. Be honest: can such sheer greatness be honoured enough? In Jamaica he's very popular, as in the rest the world and he's earned most of his money by getting commercial contracts. So his succes holds on, when it will end, no one knows.
