The "Lightining Bolt" Usain Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter and a three-time Olympic gold medalist. He holds the world record for the 100 metres, the 200 metres and, along with his teammates, the 4x100 metres relay. He also holds the Olympic record for all three of these races. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Bolt became the first man to win three sprinting events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man to set world records in all three at a single Olympics. In 2009 he became the first man to hold the 100 and 200 m world and Olympic titles at the same time. [Bolt in Wikipedia]
Here is his truly inspiring, very informative (watch the slow motion replay of how he sprints), explosive and smashing sprint victory when he set the 100-meter World Record at the recently concluded 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Germany.
And as popular as the "Lightning Bolt" has become, the standard bearer of the sports of Running / Athletics, here is his late night interview with David Letterman. Good thing he did not pursue cricket. Haha.
