VIDEO: Usain Bolt’s Blunder in 2011 Left Rivals and Him Shocked as World’s Fastest Man Lost His Winning Streak

The track and field fraternity saw Usain Bolt leave a legacy that will be unmatched for generations. He dominated the sprinting competitions by not giving a chance to his compatriots. Hence, he is the benchmark for most athletes, looking to succeed. Notably, from the 2008 Beijing Olympics to the 2016 Rio Olympics, Bolt won every single major gold medal that was there to win, apart from the 2011 World Championships.

Bolt had a disqualification during the 2011 Daegu World Championships that saw him losing ground. Hence, it became a significant moment for him as he missed out on consecutive gold medals at the World Championships.

A small error that silenced the stadium

The first of his six individual Olympic gold medals came at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. At the end of the 2016 Rio Olympics, Bolt won five more in both the 100m and 200-meters, respectively. Thus, it was a standout moment. However, his World Championships in 2009 saw him creating a world record in the 100-meters. After that, the unthinkable happened.

He got disqualified from the 100-meters World Championships at the 2011 Daegu Championships. His homeland rival, Yohan Blake, won the race.

The crowd that was waiting for him to fire off from the blocks saw Usain remove his shirt in disappointment. People who were ready to capture his Kodak moment at the finishing line instead received a photo of a dejected Bolt. That race could have changed the history of the athletics competitions. He could have won four consecutive World Championships medals while holding three gold Olympic medals. However, there was a pinch of happiness from that day.

Usain Bolt: The 200-meters legend

While everyone focuses on his 100-meters, Bolt was equally dominant in the 200-meters. In fact, he won the 2011 World Championships gold medal for that event, which means he won every single gold medal at the Olympics and World Championships from 2008 to 2016. A remarkable achievement, nonetheless.

To reach those heights, one has to sacrifice many things for years. Bolt is a living example of following his passion, honing his craft, and becoming a legend.

Though he missed out on a gold medal in 2011 at the 100m event, he raced into the folklore for his staggering performances. The 2011 World Championships was just a blip in his stride, but he made longer strides to become the best in the world.
