Best Known As: Sports Figure Gist: Usain St. Leo Bolt, C.D. (; born 21 August 1986), is a Jamaican sprinter. Bolt holds the world records for the 100 metres at 9.58 seconds (pending) Bolt distinguished himself with a 200 m gold medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships, making him the competition's youngest-ever gold medalist. In 2004, at the CARIFTA Games, Bolt became the first junior sprinter to run the 200 m in under 20 seconds with a time of 19.93 s, breaking Roy Martin's world junior record by two-tenths of a second. Bolt also set competition records at a number of other junior events. Bolt turned professional in 2004 but missed most of his first two seasons due to injuries; he was eliminated in the first round of the 200 m heats at the 2004 Summer Olympics. In 2007, Bolt beat Don Quarrie's 200 m Jamaican national record with a run of 19.75 s. In May 2008, Bolt set his first 100 m world record with a time of 9.72 s, improving upon his previous personal best of 9.76 s which was made earlier in the month. As a result of Bolt's successes in athletics, he was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for 2009.  read more about Usain Bolt
