Usain Bolt, the only person who holds a ‘triple treble’ Olympic record, is currently the fastest man alive. The Jamaican sprinter is the first person to hold the 100 meters and 200 meters world records. His popularity worldwide soared with his victory at the two individual sprint events in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Bolt won 9 Olympic medals at three consecutive Olympics – Beijing 2008, London 2012, and Rio 2016. He won these in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4 × 100 meters relay events.
Since 2008, Usain Bolt has won every world championship but one in sprint events. He set the world 100 meters record at Berlin, Germany by clocking a time of 9.58 seconds. Bolt’s fastest recorded speed is 27.8 miles per hour.
