THE FASTEST!<br />
In 2009, athlete Usain Bolt officially became the fastest person<br />
on Earth. He still holds the record for the fastest human speed –<br />
44.72 km/h – which he ran at the World Championships in Berlin.<br />
Bolt was born in a small town in Jamaica. As a child, all he<br />
thought about was sport, and he played cricket and soccer<br />
before being identified as an extremely fast sprinter.<br />
Bolt went on to win nine Olympic gold medals and break many<br />
world records – even his own. All of this is even more incredible<br />
considering he has a medical condition that has made one of his<br />
legs more than one centimetre shorter than the other.<br />
