Expert opinions[edit / edit wiki text]
After Bolt's successful performance at the 2008 Olympic Games, some experts began to study him.
According to the American coach and sprint specialist Lauren Seagrove, an important role in the phenomenon of Usain Bolt is his genetics.
Bolt's homeland was one of the centers of the slave trade, where slaves were brought from West Africa, whose natives are traditionally strong in sprinting.
He also suggests that about one third of the Bolt muscles consist of super fast muscle cells[110].
An American scientist in the field of theoretical astrophysics, Ethan Siegel, suggests that Usain made a "physiological leap into the future".
In his opinion, the results that the athlete shows now should be shown only in 30 years[111].
According to his mathematical research, track and field athletes, starting in 1968, on average improved the world record at a distance of 100 meters by 0.05 seconds in 10 years.
Bolt improved the record immediately by 0.14 in just one year and 3 months[112].
Ethan Siegel compiled a chart of the chronology of world records and came to the conclusion that the world record of 9.58 should be shown only in 2039[113].
Peter Weyand, a leading physiologist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and a specialist in the field of sprint running, says: "Usain Bolt is a freak, he defies the laws of biology"[111].
Alan Neville, Professor of biostatistics at the University of Wolverhampton, suggests that the initially high growth of an athlete contributes to a faster heat removal from the muscles, which causes their increased efficiency[111].
Mark Denny, a professor of biology at Stanford University, believes that there is no need to look for an explanation for its phenomenal speed.
"Usain Bolt was just lucky, nature gave him a unique talent," the scientist said[111].
Speed records[edit / edit wiki text]
In the final 100 meter race of the Beijing Olympics, Bolt registered a peak speed of 12.2 m / s (43.9 km/h) and an average step length of 2.6 meters.
It took him 41 steps, while other sprinters, in particular Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay, need 2-2.
5 steps more.
On August 16, 2009, in the final of the World Championships in Berlin, he set a world record in the 100 meters — 9.58.
The very next day, detailed data of the record breaking race were published on the IAAF website.
According to them, the Jamaican sprinter overcame the distance from 60 to 80 meters in 1.61 seconds.
The highest average speed was recorded on this segment — 12.42 m / s (44.72 km/h) [114].
According to the report, the maximum separation of the runner from the rivals occurs in the last third of the distance.
According to the aforementioned Loren Seagrove, this is not due to an increase in speed, but due to a more developed speed endurance[110].
A special feature of his technique is a low hip lift, which allows you to save energy and use it for more effective repulsion[110].
It is also worth noting that according to such a parameter as the reaction time at the start, he loses to some athletes, in particular to the silver and bronze medalist of the record race[64].
During his career, 45 times[115] he ran the distance of 100 meters faster than 10 seconds and 31 times[116] he ran the distance of 200 meters faster than 20 seconds at official competitions.
Personal life[edit / edit wiki text]
Currently lives in Kingston.
He trains at the athletics stadium of the University of the West Indies.
Since the end of 2011, he has been dating Slovak fashion designer Lubica Kutserova.

On the eve of the Olympics in London, I met a British athlete Megan Edwards, who lives in the city of Dartford.
The girl worked at the presentation of a new sports uniform for the Jamaican Olympic team.
At the end of 2012, they broke up[118].
Usain Bolt is one of the highest paid athletes in the world.
According to Forbes magazine, in 2012 he took the 63rd place and earned 20.3 million US dollars, of which 20 million are advertising and sponsorship contracts[119].
In 2013, he was on the 40th line of the rating with 24.2 million dollars, of which only 200 thousand prize money[120].
In the current rating for 2014, he is in 45th place, having earned $ 23.2 million.
He is also the only athlete who managed to get into the top hundred of the rating[121].
In 2011, he opened his own restaurant called "Tracks & Records" in Kingston[122].
Public activity[edit / edit wiki text]
In 2003, the athlete signed a contract with Puma, which was extended in 2013 until the 2016 Olympic Games.
According to this contract, he performs in the sports uniform of this company, including spikes.
The athlete himself says about the company: "Puma has been with me from the very beginning.
They recognized my talent at an early age and supported it over the years, especially in the early years, when I had numerous injuries.
Their work and commitment to Jamaica is very important to me.
I have always been happy to be a part of the Puma family.
I am proud to represent them and I am happy to continue working with them in the coming years. " [123]
In November 2009, he visited Kenya together with former track and field athlete Colin Jackson and one of the leaders of Puma, Jochen Zeitz.
During this trip, Bolt took under the patronage of a three month old cheetah, whose parents were killed by poachers, and also gave him the name "Lightning".
The athlete paid US $ 13,700 for the cheetah, and will also pay 3 thousand a year for its maintenance in an animal shelter in Nairobi[124].
He is a fan of the Manchester United football club[125].
In June 2011, Bolt said that he would like to become a Manchester United player after finishing his career as a track and field athlete.
He is fast, and, in his opinion, he could become a good player[126].
