Usain Bolt is a legendary figure. Although rumours abound of chicken nugget-fuelled world records, and covertly-signed contracts to play for Manchester United once he hangs up his track spikes.

He is, without a doubt, one of the greatest athletes in the world right now, and will go down in history for his achievements:

1. It all began with a bet over a free lunch.

When Bolt was just twelve years old, local priest Reverend Nugent overheard the youngster bickering with his close friend, Ricardo Gedes, over who was the quickest runner. Nugent decided to up the stakes in a bid to persuade the would-be sprinters to commit to the contest: free lunch to the winner. The pair were sold, and Usain Bolt tore to victory. As the priest departed and Bolt tucked into his spoils, legend has it that Nugent told the young Jamaican: ‘If you can beat Ricardo, you can beat anyone’. A star was born.

2. He’s quite the philanthropist.

In 2009, Bolt paid just over £10,000 to formally adopt an abandoned cheetah cub – named Lightning Bolt – in Nairobi, and has since paid £2,300 a year to cover its upkeep at the orphanage. His support of Kenya’s wildlife conservation efforts are surpassed by his charitable work closer to home: the Usain Bolt Foundation works to benefit local youngsters, through sporting provisions, improving community structures, and funding talented Jamaicans to excel in
