Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet
Usain Bolt is an outstanding sprinter from Jamaica, a three time Olympic champion, the current holder of world records in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100 meters relay as part of the Jamaican national team.
And the first person in history to set these world records at the same Olympics.
In athletics, it is difficult to think ahead: today you set a world record, and tomorrow someone else unexpectedly and treacherously improves your achievement and then poses on the front pages of newspapers as if nothing had happened.
The only thing that Usain Bolt is sure of is that he will never grow coffee.
He canot stand this smell, because as a child he inhaled it to the point of nausea on a coffee plantation owned by the family.
And he also believes that he will spend his whole life in his native Jamaica.

Beyond the limits of the possible: 100 meters - a new world record
Khakassia, June 2, 2008 Jamaican runner Usain Bolt at the Grand Prix of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in New York set a new world record at the most prestigious, "royal" running distance.
He overcame a hundred meters in 9.72 seconds, 0.02 surpassing the previous achievement of his compatriot Asaf Powell (9.74).
The distance of 100 meters is a challenge for every runner, it is a chance to prove that no one knows the limit of a person's capabilities.
This is a struggle with oneself, with rivals, with a path under your feet and with the wind in your chest for the right to mark new boundaries of the possible.
Usain Bolt pushed the bar another 0.02 seconds ahead, breaking the previous record of Jamaican Asaf Powell, which he set in September 2007 in the Italian city of Riete.
Powerful and tall Usain very successfully passed the starting segment and already in the first 15-20 meters broke away from other participants of the race.
His legs flashed through the air with incredible speed, it seemed that he barely touched the ground, increasing his advantage over his competitors with every meter.
Bolt was first at the finish, Gay Tyson came second, and American Darvis Patton was third.
After a great victory, a happy Bolt shared his emotions: "I knew that if I beat Tyson at the start, I could win.
This race was 99% perfect for me.
The world record belongs to me, and I donot think yet that I will need to break it again.
Any excellent result does not mean anything without winning gold medals at the World Championships or the Olympics.
If you win the Olympics, your opponents will have to wait four years to take revenge."
Until 2008, Bolt never ran out of 10 seconds in the hundred meter race.
Now he is rightfully considered one of the main contenders for the "gold" of the Olympic Games in Beijing.
Most likely, the Jamaican will perform at the Games in two disciplines at once - running for 100 and 200 meters.
