Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is regarded as the fastest human ever timed.

He is the first man to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time became mandatory.

He also holds the world record as a part of the 4 × 100 metres relay.

He is the reigning World and Olympic champion in these three events.

Due to his unprecedented dominance and achievements in the athletic field, he is widely considered the "Greatest sprinter of all time"

A nine-time Olympic gold medallist, Bolt won the 100 m, 200 m and 4 × 100 m relay at three consecutive Olympic Games.

He gained worldwide popularity for his double sprint victory at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in world record times.

Bolt was the first to win consecutive Olympic 100 m and 200 m titles (2008 and 2012).
