My Running Experience

When I was 12 years old, I joined in the school track team, and that was my first real exposure to sprinting. At that time, I’m very proud and trained hard every day. Finally, When I participated in track and field meeting of primary and secondary school students, and got the silver medalist in the man’s 100m final and got bronze medalist in the man’s 200m final. This year I also went to the same match, but unfortunately, i didn’t get any rankings. But I was not be discouraged, and even training harder. I’m really looking forward to get better results next year.

In January, I participated in local marathon as a volunteer. I helped to organize this match, such as arrange the schedules and bringing water to runners.

My Favorite Running Star

Usain St. Leo Bolt, OJ, C.D. ( born 21 August 1986), is a Jamaican sprinter and a three-time Olympic gold medalist. He holds the world record for the 100 metres, the 200 metres and, along with his teammates, the 4x100 metres relay. He also holds the Olympic record for all three of these races. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Bolt became the first man to win three sprinting events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man to set world records in all three at a single Olympics.

In 2009 he became the first man to hold the 100m and 200m world and Olympic titles at the same time. Bolt distinguished himself with a 200m gold medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships, making him the competition's youngest-ever gold medalist. In 2004, at the CARIFTA Games, he became the first junior sprinter to run the 200m in under 20 seconds with a time of 19.93s, breaking Roy Martin's world junior record by two-tenths of a second. He turned professional in 2004, missing most of his first two seasons due to injuries, but he competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics. In 2007, he beat Don Quarrie's 200m Jamaican national record with a run of 19.75s. In May 2008, Bolt set his first 100m world record with a time of 9.72s. He set world records in both 100m and 200m events at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics: 100m record time of 9.69s broke his own previous record of 9.72s; with a record time of 19.30s he broke previous record of 19.32s by Michael Johnson at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

In August 2009, a year after the Beijing Olympics, he lowered his own 100m and 200m world records to 9.58s and 19.19s respectively at the 2009 World Championships. His record breaking margin in 100m is the highest since the start of digital time measurements.

His achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "Lightning Bolt". I always follow his steps, and try my best to get good results.
