Here is the amazing video of Usain Bolt in 2009 breaking his own Olympic record to win at 9.58 seconds, a new world record!!!
Bolt was born in 1986 in Sherwood Content, a small town in Jamaica. His parents ran the local grocery store and Bolt spent his time playing cricket and football on the street with his brother. "When I was young, I didn’t really think about anything other than sports", he said recently.
As a child in primary school he first began to show his sprinting potential by running in the annual national primary-schools' meeting for his parish. By the age of twelve, Bolt had become the school's fastest runner over 100 metres. He won his first annual high school championships medal in 2001, taking the silver in the 200 metres with a time of 22.04 seconds.
Pablo McNeil, his coach, sometimes gets frustrated because Bolt is always doing funny things and practical jokes. I think he is a 'messer', but he is the fastest 'messer' ever over 100 metres.
I love to watch him and I will follow him in this summer's Olympic Games (in London).
Great post, keep on
