Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt is a sprinter and is widely regarded as the fastest person ever. He set a new record when he claimed both the 100m and 200m titles. He won these events at both the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics.

Because of his name and speed he has developed the nickname 'Lightning Bolt' and is famous for his celebration pose. Bolt has recently appeared in the latest Virgin Media ad campaign in which he imitated Virgin head Richard Branson.

Bolt is also a keen football fan, in particular of Manchester United. He has joked that he will join Manchester United once he retires from athletics. He appeared to jokingly accept the offer of a trial at the club after a invitation from United defender Rio Ferdinand on Twitter during London 2012.
