On Saturday Jamaica’s Usain “Lightning” Bolt ran the length of a football field in just over 9.5 seconds, making him the fastest man to have ever walked this Earth — not a bad claim to fame!
Like fellow world-class athlete Michael Phelps, Bolt’s daily fitness routine and diet is off the chain. After Bolt demolished the 100m world record he was quoted saying, “I woke around 11am and decided to watch some TV and had some nuggets.”
McDonald’s Chicken Nuggets?! That’s a bit of a stretch, but in this breakdown of his daily fitness and diet regiment Bolt admits maintaining his 6′4” 13 stone, 8 lb physique (193 lbs), without supplements, while still being able to enjoy the occasional Guinness and Red Bull.

With colorful flags a-waving, there isn’t a more fruitful time than now to start thinking “Gay” for the 2008 Olympics.
Tyson Gay has been a middle-to-top-class sprinter in the 100m and 200m dash for the last few years – in 2005 he was the “4″ in the U.S. 200m 1-2-3-4 sweep – but the recent spring in his step has earned him Gold medals and World Records.
Gay, a 25-year-old American, got the Gold in both the 100m (9.85 seconds) and 200m (19.76 seconds) at the World Championships in Osaka, Japan – the first athlete to do so since Justin Gatlin in 2005.
His 19.76 in the 200m is edged out ever-so-slightly by the “world’s fastest man” himself, Michael Johnson, in 1996 (19.32).
Olympic hopeful? You bet your sweet ass.
Watch Gay win the 200m after the jump.
