About Usain
Usain Bolt was a cricket-mad schoolboy in Trelawny before becoming, at 15, the youngest world junior champion in history. After his 2008 breakthrough he won the Olympic 100m and 200m double at three consecutive Games — a first — and set world records in Berlin in 2009 that have now outlived his career by nearly two decades.
