Where does athlete Usain Bolt come from?
Usain St Leo Bolt, OJ, CD (born 21 August 1986) is a Jamaican former sprinter. He is a world record holder in the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4 × 100 metres relay.
Owing to his achievements and dominance in sprint competition, he is widely considered to be the greatest sprinter of all time. An eight-time Olympic gold medallist, Bolt is the only sprinter to win Olympic 100 m and 200 m titles at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012 and 2016). In addition, he won two 4 × 100 relay gold medals.
He gained worldwide fame for his double sprint victory in world record times at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which made him the first person to hold both records since fully automatic time became mandatory.

Remember seeing him interrupt an interview to listen to the US anthem. Truly a class athlete and human being.

Went to his mum's house on boxing day 2016 and met him. Such a gentleman. Our tour guide for the day knew the house

I was in Jamaica when he won the world championship - great atmosphere at breakfast in the hotel where the race was televised on a big screen. We also went to his sports bar while we were in Kingston.

How could so many people get this wrong ? Even if you don't follow athletics, you must know who he is.

Great athlete. I recall that he had his 3rd olympic relay gold (Rio games 2016), later taken from him because one of his Jamaican team members tested positive to drugs.
