Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world. During more than a decade he dominated the sprint competitions of international athletics (100 m, 200 m and relay) like no one before. With 9 gold medals at the Olympics, 11 gold and 2 silver medals at the World Championships and three world records, he is the most successful sprinter of all time. But Usain Bolt knew how to convince not only through performance, but also with his personality and entertaining show acts and playing with the audience, which made him very popular. He appeared proud but never arrogant, he was always in a good mood and always up for a joke. He stepped down after the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London.
