Usain Bolt is the current world record holder in most sprinting events. He’s the fastest person in the world . . . unless you need to run farther than a few hundred meters. His time in the 400-meter sprint is good, but more than two seconds behind the world record.* At distances beyond that, he doesn’t even match a good high school sprinter. Bolt’s agent told The New Yorker that Bolt has never run a mile.
