Its safe to say that Usain Bolt is one of the fastest humans in the world and the greatest sprinter of all-time. He is the world record holder of the 100 meter, 200 meter & 4x100 meter relay.
Here are five really fast facts about the Jamaican runner.
1. He ran his 100-meter record in 2008 with his shoe untied.

4. He has scoliosis but never let it affect his running.
5. He can outrun a black mamba snake, squirrel, chicken and pig. But not an elephant, kangaroo or giraffe. Although we’d love to see him go head to head against any of them.
