Bolt, under the guidance of Glen Mills has become Jamaica’s most successful Olympian winning eight gold medals between 2008 and 2016. He is also among the most successful track and field athletes in history winning 11 gold medals, 13 overall at the World Championships. He also holds the world records for the 100m and 200m.
