Sprint legend, Olympic gold medalist and record holder Usain Bolt was listed on the men’s long list for winning triple gold in Berlin in 2009, setting world records at 100m, 200m and 4x100m.

Bolt set the current 100m world record at the 2009 IAAF World Championships, clocking an astonishing 9.58 seconds that remains unbeatable. He then went on to set the 200m world record at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin with a time of 19.29 seconds, shattering his previous record of 19.30 seconds at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

A few years later, at the London 2012 Olympics, the Jamaican team consisting of Bolt, Yohan Blake, Nesta Carter and Michael Frater clocked 36.84 seconds, beating their previous time of 37.04 seconds at the 2012 World Championships to set a new record.

Also making the long list, but for the women’s category, is Jamaican pocket-rocket Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce who won triple gold, winning the 100m, 200m and 4x100m in Moscow in 2013.

Fraser-Pryce triumphed in the 100m Finals at the IAAF World Athletics Championships Moscow with the biggest winning margin in World Championships history, clocking a time of 10.71 seconds. She then went on to win the 200m at the same event with a time of 22.17 seconds.
