USAIN BOLT
Bolt was
born on 21st August 1986 in Sherwood Content, a small town in Trelawny,
Jamaica, and grew up with his parents, Wellesley and Jennifer Bolt, his brother
Sadiki, and his sister Sherine. His parents ran the local grocery store in the
rural area, and Bolt spent his time playing cricket and football in the street
with his brother.
As a child,
Bolt attended Waldensia Primary, where he first began to show his sprinting
potential, running in the annual national primary-schools' meeting for his
parish. By the age of twelve, Bolt had become the school's fastest runner over
the 100 metres distance.
The silver
medals from the 2007 Osaka World Championships boosted Bolt's desire to run,
and he took it more seriously. On 31 May 2008 Bolt established a new 100 m
world record of 9.72 s at the Reebok Grand Prix held in the Icahn Stadium
in New York City, breaking Powell's record.

GOOD JOB Carlos!!!
Hi Carlos! I've enjoyed so much your text because i talks about a very important person for me,Usain Bolt, because as you know, i like a lot athletics and i think it's good to inform the people about this ancient sport that comes from the old Greece. The only bad thing that i think that you text has, is that i think it´s too old because the nowadays world record is 9.58 seconds in Berlin 2011. Nevertheless i think it's a very good text.
ReplyDeleteGood job and congratulations Carlos!!!
