Usain Bolt, the GOAT of sprinting, seems to have found a new competitor. The 35-year-old is a former track and field athlete. While professionally competing, Bolt usually used to only take part in three major events, namely the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay. With tremendous hard work and dedication, he created world records in all these three events.
The Jamaican made sprinting look effortless and was the fastest man on the planet for over a decade. Achieving a grand total of 8 Olympic gold medals, he earned the nickname of “Lightning Bolt”.
Not only this, but he was also the World Champion, 11 times in a row, and became the epitome of consistency as well as greatness in the field of athletes. With more and more feats over the course of 16 years, Bolt became an iconic figure for athletes to seek inspiration from.

Just like all the athletes stand on the starting line together, Bolt and the metro were standing on a starting line, waiting for the starters to give a green light. Apparently, both took a standing start, and the competition was on!
