Usain bolt 2008 olympic games


















Bolt actually claimed 3 gold medals at the Games this year only to have his 4xm relay gold taken away after teammate Nesta Carter was found guilty of doping 8 years later. The following year the lightning bolt strikes again, claiming a treble of golds and another 2 world records in the metres 9. He won his third gold of the competition with the Jamaican 4xm relay team.

Disaster struck for Bolt as he was disqualified from the m final for a false start. His teammate and countryman Yohan Blake went on to claim the gold medal. Usain Bolt stole the show in London yet again with another golden treble at the Olympic Stadium.

It was after these Games that he declared himself a legend, becoming the first man to complete the sprint double at two Olympics. Bolt continued his dominance at the World Championships with another 3 gold medals, making amends for his m false start disqualification in Daegu in He won gold in the m 9.

Another World Championships, another display of dominance in the sprints. Bolt adds 3 more gold medals to his already impressive catalogue. Not forgetting another 4xm gold This feat put him amongst the top athletes of all-time in any sport. Bolts final appearance on the track before his retirement was painful for most to watch. Justin Gatlin forgot to read the script, taking home the gold medal, whilst Bolt finished in third place 9.

Heartache quickly followed as he literally crashed out of the 4xm final, tumbling to the ground with a hamstring injury. Heroically Bolt refused aid, and dragged himself across the finish line one last time to a standing ovation from the crowd.

The speed project. He is the tallest man to hold the world record, breaking his own mark of 9. He ran wearing golden spikes, with the laces on the left foot flapping about in the wind, and he is defying all the other rules of the m. Ask any sprinter and they will declare that the first 30m of a race is the most important, to keep the head facing downwards and power into the drive motion to develop speed.

Bolt is virtually out of that stage by 20 metres. His long legs eat up so much ground that by halfway there is no chance of catching him. When Powell, his fellow Jamaican whose world record of 9. It is the only way. By 50 metres, it becomes a procession, a freak show if nothing else, because this quiet, respectful Jamaican is the most remarkable runner to have tried the distance.

As Bolt was conducting his leg-slapping celebratory routine well before the end, his rivals had their cheeks puffed and were straining every sinew. He has shown that he's a 6ft 5in sprinter and can run well and break world records. He has great starts and it's the beginning of something else. Walter Dix, of the US, who was third with 9. But the way he drives and his pattern, the way it goes together, his amazing first 40 metres I give it to him.

If you listen to his father, Wellesley, it is nothing to do with training. It is all about the vegetables grown locally to where Bolt was born. Not that Bolt was engaging in such a diet. Fast man, fast food.

I went back to my room, I slept for two hours, I went back for some more nuggets and came to the track. For dinner, he had the world record. Bolt is the first Jamaican and only the second sprinter from the Caribbean to win the Olympic title. Hasely Crawford, from Trinidad and Tobago, triumphed at Montreal in and this run here obliterated the Olympic record of 9.

Clever man, that promoter.
