The short portrays a young, energetic Usain Bolt who through help from his coach and his mother, grows into the Olympic champion we know today.
At only 15, Bolt was dubbed ‘Lightning Bolt’ after winning the IAAF Rising Star Award and becoming the youngest world-junior gold medalist. The fastest man in the world is now the owner of 6 Olympic gold medals.
He’s broken record after record including the world record for the 200m and 4×100 races. With 17 gold medals between the World Championships and the Olympics, Bolt is on the road to becoming the most decorated track and field athlete of all time.
