The Resume

    (August 21, 1986- )
    Born in Trelawny, Jamaica
    Sprinter
    Won Olympic gold medal in 100 meter, 200 meter and 4 x 100 meter relay (2008)
    Won Olympic gold medal in 100 meter dash (August 5, 2012) and 200 meter dash (August 9, 2012)
    Won Olympic gold medal in 100 meter dash (August 14, 2016)

Why he might be annoying:

    He beat his chest and celebrated before he even crossed the finish line in the Olympic 100 meters (2008).
    IOC president Jacques Rogge felt he was disrespectful for his showboating and for ignoring the other competitors.
    His accomplishments at the 2008 Beijing Olympics were slightly overshadowed by Michael Phelps' eight gold medals.
    His trademark pose is leaning back and pointing his fingers up as if he were shooting an arrow.
    He tends to slack in his training and eats an unhealthy diet.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has a very appropriate name for a sprinter!
    He originally set the 100m world record in just his fifth competitive run in the distance (9.72 seconds, May 2008).
    He broke it again in the Olympics despite his premature celebration and an untied shoelace (9.69 sec).
    He was the first to break the world records in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m in the same Olympics (2008).
    He prefers training in Jamaica instead of the more modern tracks in other countries.
    Rogge said of him, 'Bolt must be considered now the same way like Jesse Owens should have been in the 1930s.'
