In the Beijing Olympic track and field events, the crowd has not only been impressed by his lightning speed, but also his dances. Like other young people, Bolt likes living in a easy and leisurely way.
Bolt made his first impact on the world stage at the 2002 World Junior Championships, winning gold in the 200 meters. This made him the youngest gold medalist in the history of the competition.
However, injuries caused him to miss much of the 2004 and 2005 track and field seasons. Bolt improved in the 2007 season. He won silver at the 2007 Osaka World Championships, second to track rival Tyson Gay.
