Usain Bolt is in the picture. He is an Olympic and world champion sprinter from the country of Jamaica. He was born on the 21st of August, 1986 in Trelawny, Jamaica and now resides in Kingston, Jamaica.

He became the first person to hold both the 100 and 200 meters world records since automatic time became mandatory. He also holds the world record as a part of the 4 × 100 meters relay. He is the reigning (2016) world and Olympic champion in these three events. He is widely considered to be the greatest sprinter of all time and usually referred to as the fastest man on the planet.

An eight-time Olympic gold medalist, Bolt won the 100 m, 200 m and 4 × 100 m relay at three consecutive Olympic Games, although he subsequently lost one of the gold medals nine years after the fact due to teammate Nesta Carter's disqualification for doping offenses. He gained worldwide popularity for his double sprint victory at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in world record times. Bolt is the only sprinter to win Olympic 100 m and 200 m titles at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012 and 2016), a feat referred to as the 'triple double'.
