Usain Bolt breaks the world record and sets a new world record Usain Bolt (born 21 August 1986) is a Jamaican sprinter.[1] He is the reigning Olympic champion over 100 metres and holds both world and Olympic 100 metres records with a time of 9.69 seconds. Bolt is also the world junior record holder in the 200 metres (19.93 seconds), and Jamaican national record holder in the 200 metres (19.67 seconds). His name and achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "Lightning Bolt". Bolt was born in Trelawny, Jamaica,[3] to Jennifer and Wellesley Bolt.[4] As a child he was successful in the annual, national primary schools' meeting for his parish,[2] and enjoyed playing cricket, specialising in fast bowling. Upon his entry to William Knibb Memorial High School, his cricket coach noticed Bolt's speed on the pitch and urged him to try track and field events.[5] Pablo McNeil and Dwayne Barrett coached Bolt, encouraging him to focus his energy on improving his athletic abilities. The school had a history of athletic success with past students including Michael Green.[2] Bolt won his first annual high school championships medal in 2001, attaining the silver medal in the 200 metres with a time of 22.04 seconds.[2] BEIJING 2008
