From the biography of Usain Bolt
The future champion was born on August 21, 1986 in the village of Sherwood-Content (Jamaica). His father was in business - he had his own store where he traded in groceries. Mom was engaged in housekeeping and raised three children: Bolt has an older sister and a younger brother.
Already in his childhood, Usay raved about sports, dreamed of the highest achievements. Until the age of 10, the boy tried his hand at cricket and football. The inventory was tight, so the children often used improvised means as a ball.
Bolt got into the athletics section when he was in middle school. An experienced coach immediately drew attention to the excellent starting speed of a young runner. He persuaded Bolt to quit sports and concentrate on athletics. By the age of 12, Usain becomes the county champion. He was best given sprint distances.
Usain Bolt and Athletics
Even in his youth, Bolt showed the highest results in running. Soon, he won several serious victories in junior competitions of world level.
In 2007, Usain first received the silver medal of the World Championships in Athletics: in the Japanese city of Osaka, he took second place in the relay. After that, there were no silver medals in Bolt's career. All his subsequent awards were with a golden ebb. The Jamaican runner became the world champion 11 times, the Olympic champion - 8 times.
The bolt has not only amazing natural sprinting inclinations, but also an enviable performance. World-renowned physicians studied the athlete from all sides and came to the conclusion that the whole thing is a genetic predisposition to a particular sport. With a height of 195 cm, the bolt weighs 94 kg. The excellent physical form for Usain became the key to success in sports. Until now, there have not been any athletes in the world who, by their physical data and results, could come close to a Jamaican athlete.
