Cool facts about Usain Bolt

Posted on Dec 01, 2025 / Celebs

He’s the only sprinter ever to win both 100 m and 200 m gold three Olympics in a row (2008, 2012, 2016).
Despite being 6′5″ — tall for a sprinter — his long stride helped him run at incredible speed once he got going.
At the 2009 Berlin World Championships, he set world records in both the 100 m (9.58 s) and 200 m (19.19 s) — and they still stand.
He started out playing cricket and football in Jamaica as a kid rather than sprinting seriously.
Even after retiring in 2017, Bolt tried his hand at professional football before stepping away from sports entirely in 2019.
He helped make sprinting famous worldwide — fans loved watching not just for his speed but for his electrifying personality and big celebrations.
Bolt’s dominance changed expectations forever — he redefined what “fastest man” really meant for a sprinter.
He became a global icon who transcended athletics, inspiring people far beyond track‑and‑field fans.
Many experts say his 2009 Berlin races remain among the greatest athletic performances ever witnessed.
Even today — years after retiring — his world records remain untouched and widely considered unbreakable for a long time.
