Usain Bolt (born 21 August 1986) is a track and field sprint athlete who competes internationally for Jamaica. Bolt holds the Olympic and world records for the 100 metres at 9.69 seconds, the 200 metres at 19.30 seconds and, along with his teammates, the 4x100 metres relay at 37.10 seconds, all set at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Bolt became the first man to win all three events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man in history to set world records in all three at a single Olympics. His name and achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname Lightning Bolt 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 9.72 s, improving upon his personal best of 9.76 s made earlier in the month. After his world record breaking run in New York City, which was preceded by a lightning storm, the press frequently made puns on the Jamaican s name, nicknaming him Lightning Bolt and the Bolt from the blue . During the Beijing 2008 100 m final, Bolt wore golden Puma spikes that had Beijing 100 m Gold emblazoned across them
