Bolt, has vowed here to become the first man on the planet to break the 19 seconds barrier for the distance since setting the current world record of 19.19secs in Berlin seven years ago. “Everyone is looking up to him right now, with him being fit and healthy and still going strong on the world stage”.

The photo is an altered version of one taken at the Rio Olympics during the men’s 100-meter semifinal race, and shows DeGeneres riding on Bolt’s back as he’s running to victory.
Marley died after a battle with cancer in 1981, just 36 years old. Bolt ran at 44.64 km/h at the 2009 World Championships… that’s nearly the residential driving speed limit for most areas!
Gatlin, a favourite for a medal, immediately realised his errors as he stormed off the track following a race which also saw Bolt’s Jamaican team-mate Yohan Blake was also eliminated. This made him officially the youngest world junior gold medalist of all time.
It was only a semi-final for the men’s 200-meter dash, but Canada’s Andre De Grasse tried to do something many mere mortals wouldn’t even dream of: He tried to pass Usain Bolt.
But Cousins, who has met De Grasse several times at national competitions, said the much shorter sprinter is fantastic at rapid leg turnover.
“I’m always exhausted for the first round but the execution was okay”, he said. He also wants to break his own record and establish a sub-19 second mark at the distance. “I really, really, really want that one”.
For Usain Bolt, running fast has had extreme financial benefits.

“With his size, Bolt must have two metres of tendons in his hamstring”, he said. “The key thing is that I qualified and I qualified easy”.
