Jamaica's Usain Bolt could easily become the world's greatest sprinter of all time after breaking world records in both the 100M and 200M track and field events. He is the first ever to break world records in both events in the same single event in the 2008 Beijing Olympic games. With these new world records, it will take a long long time for anyone to break or surpass them. For now, these are simply incredible!
Usain Bolt (born 21 August 1986) holds world and Olympic records in both the 100 metres and 200 metres, with times of 9.69 seconds and 19.30 seconds respectively. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, he became the first man in history to break both world records at one Olympics, and the first man since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win both races at the same Olympics. His name and achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "Lightning Bolt".[3]
