As Fast as Lightning

First of all, this world class athlete has his own Headphone line, restaurant, clothing line. He earns 23$ Million a year, ranked 45th highest paid athlete in the world, and he occasionally makes generous donations to organizations. He has his own app you can get. He’s got the coolest nickname the, Lightning Bolt. He has numerous firsts, olympic gold medals and other world records. Has the coolest victory pose. In the 2008, he won 3 olympic gold medals and he has broken world records in sprinting. He is born in Jamaica, and didn't originally start out running. He is the fastest Man alive! He is Usain Bolt.  

First and foremost. He hit the ground running. Usain St Leo Bolt was born August 21, 1986 in Sherwood content in the small town in of Trelawny Jamaica. Usain Bolt has two siblings, his brother Sadiki along with his sister Sherine. His parents owned a local grocery store and Usain spent most of his time playing sports with his siblings. When Bolt was a child he attended Waldensia Primary, where he first begun to show potential as a sprinter. By the time Bolt had reached the age of twelve he was the school's fastest runner in the 100 meter run. With his entry to William Knibb high school, his cricket coach noticed his speed on the pitch and suggest he try track and field. He did just that and tried track, and he was fast. His Track coaches where Pablo McNeil a former Olympic sprinter, and Dwayne Jarrett. As the years went on McNeil became his coach. Usain Bolt's first world appearance was at the 2001 International Association of Athletics Federation World youth championships, where his career would start. Unlike most people believe Bolt didn’t take sports too seriously, he like to play practical jokes and once got detained by the police for a practical Joke. Bolt grew, and by the time he was fifteen he had another chance to prove his credentials. “ The 2002 World Junior Championships, Before a home crowd in Kingston, Jamaica, gave Bolt another chance to prove his credentials on the world stage”(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usain_Bolt). At this meet he won the 200m, which made him the youngest Junior champion medalist ever. Bolt continued running and so did the medals. In the 2003 Caribbean Free Trade Association, or CARIFTA games, he was awarded the Austin Sealy trophy for most outstanding athlete. At his final high school meet he broke the 200 and 400 records. After going through all of the world champion trails and on to the olympics he went on to become one of the most known athletes and is now known as the fastest Man alive!     

In the end no matter what Usain Bolt is amazing and very interesting person, but the most interesting thing I found was he wants to play for Manchester United soccer team. It is funny how he is the fastest man in the world, yet he wanted to play soccer. If I could take anything away from this research would be, seeing how many times he and other athletes have failed and persevered to succeed to great measures and become most of the well known athletes of the world.
