TRACK AND FIELD LEGEND

Book Usain Bolt for your event

Usain St. Leo Bolt, born on August 21, 1986, in Jamaica, is widely regarded as the greatest sprinter of all time. His dominance in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4 × 100 meters relay has earned him eight Olympic gold medals and numerous world records. Bolt's career took off at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where he set world records in both the 100 meters and 200 meters, becoming the first athlete to hold both records since the introduction of fully automatic timing. His electrifying performances on the track earned him global recognition and the nickname "Lightning Bolt."

Bolt's Olympic success is unparalleled, as he is the only sprinter to win the 100 meters and 200 meters titles at three consecutive Olympic Games (2008, 2012, and 2016). In addition to his individual achievements, Bolt was a key member of Jamaica's 4 × 100 meters relay team, winning two Olympic gold medals in the event. His ability to consistently perform at the highest level in major competitions solidified his status as a track and field legend. Bolt's world record times of 9.58 seconds in the 100 meters and 19.19 seconds in the 200 meters, both set in 2009, remain unbroken to this day.

In addition to his Olympic triumphs, Bolt is an eleven-time World Champion, having won consecutive World Championship gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4 × 100 meters relay from 2009 to 2015, with the exception of a false start in the 100 meters in 2011. He is the most successful male athlete in World Championship history, with four titles in the 200 meters and three in the 100 meters. Bolt's ability to break barriers in sprinting, such as being the first to run sub-9.7 and sub-9.6 seconds in the 100 meters, has left an indelible mark on the sport.

Bolt's achievements have earned him numerous accolades, including the IAAF World Athlete of the Year, Track & Field Athlete of the Year, and the BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year. He was also named Laureus World Sportsman of the Year four times and was included in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2016. After an illustrious career, Bolt retired following the 2017 World Championships, where he finished third in his final solo 100 meters race and pulled up injured in the 4 × 100 meters relay final. His legacy as the greatest sprinter in history remains intact.
