Usain Bolt was not interested in running when he was young. He loved soccer and cricket. Then his cricket coach noticed Bolt ran fast. He told Bolt to try track events. Bolt began to run and he ran fast. He also ate fast food, played basketball and partied hard. He didn' t train very hard and his coaches weren' t too pleased. He also liked to play jokes. One day he didn' t want to run so he hid. The police looked for him and found him in the back of a van. They weren' t very pleased, either!

Usain Bolt ran faster and faster. He had a lot of injuries and two car crashes, but he got better and he ran again. Then in 2005 Bolt got a new coach. This coach wanted Bolt to be more serious and to train harder. It worked! In the Beijing Olympics Usain Bolt became a superstar. He won three golds and broke three world records - at the same Olympics! He ran so fast that he actually slowed down before the finish in a couple of races. That really annoyed some people.
