USAIN BOLT

TO BE a world champion in any sport would be awesome, but imagine being the fastest man on earth. Usain Bolt is that person and his period of dominance is unlikely to end anytime soon — although Justin Gatlin is getting close. Bolt, 27, starred at the world championships in Moscow when he claimed the 100m and 200m titles before helping Jamaica to win the 4x100m relay to become the most successful athlete in the 30 years of the world championships. It hasn’t been a good year for Jamaican athletics, but Bolt continues to be a breath of fresh air.
