Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt is that rarity in the modern world - a man whose fame transcends his nationality, his race and even his sport. From Los Angeles to Beijing, from Kingston to Berlin, the name Bolt resonates immediately even with those with only a passing interest in sport. Bolt is, quite simply, the world's fastest man - by some margin. In this book, award-winning athletics writer Steven Downs, who has followed the Jamaican since his global debut, charts Bolt's career so far and onward to the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
