The world most fastest man and woman - [Usain Bolt & Carmelita Jeter]

 Fastest Woman On Earth - Carmelita Jeter

The 100-meter dash is usually the shortest race, yet it remains one of the most popular and prestigious events in the world of sports. In fact, the winner of the 100-meter dash at the Olympics is usually considered “the fastest man/woman in the world."Currently, Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the reigning 100-meter dash champion at both the Olympics and the world championships. Given those titles, many consider her to be the fastest woman in the world.

Fraser-Pryce's personal best time in the 100-meter dash was set in June 2012 in Kingston, Jamaica. She completed the race that day in a blistering 10.70 seconds. Given that time, however, Fraser-Pryce is not the fastest woman in history.

American Carmelita Jeter, who finished second to Fraser-Pryce at the London Olympics, has a personal best time of 10.64 seconds in the 100-meter dash. While extremely fast, Jeter is also not the fastest woman in history.

That title belongs to the one and only Florence Griffith-Joyner. Known as “Flo-Jo" by her many fans, Griffith-Joyner still holds the all-time world record in the 100-meter dash at 10.49 seconds set in 1988. Although some people dispute that record due to possible wind conditions and allegations of performance-enhancing drug use, the record still stands.

The Fastest Man In The World Today - Usain Bolt

Usain St Leo Bolt was born in Sherwood Content Trelawny, Jamaica on 21 August 1986.
He already owned the world record in the 100m coming into Beijing, despite little experience at that distance. On May 31, Bolt ran his way into history when he shattered the world record, running 9.72 seconds to win the event at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York. Bolt’s time, which was run with a 1.7 meters-per-second tailwind, lowered the mark of 9.74 set in September by fellow Jamaican Asafa Powell. Making the record even more remarkable is the fact that it came in only his fourth race at the distance in major international competition.

Lightning strikes
Bolt, who signed his first professional contract at age 17, just out of William Knibb Memorial High School, is nicknamed “Lightning Bolt.” Bolt has been running since age 10, when he was in primary school, and was a fast cricket bowler when he was younger, but no longer plays the sport.
On April 11, 2004, Bolt sped to a superb 19.93 World Junior record making him the first, and to-date the only teenager to break the 20-second barrier. Knee and back injuries that year rendered him unable to defend his World Junior title in Grosseto.

Home cooking
Bolt’s road to success began when his country hosted the 2002 IAAF World Junior Championships. Rarely had a junior track and field competition produced the incredible scenes witnessed on July 19, when the tall 15-year-old won the 200m final in 20.65 seconds before a sellout crowd of 36,000 in Jamaica’s National Stadium in Kingston. At 15 years and 332 days, Bolt became the youngest-ever male World Junior champion. Bolt holds the world age group records for 15- and 16-year-olds, and the World Youth and World Junior records.

Athens experience
As an 18-year-old at the Athens Olympics in 2004, Bolt, still feeling the effects of a hamstring injury suffered that spring, was eliminated in the first round of heats in the 200m.

Speed to burn
Known more for his prowess in the 200m, Bolt proved that he also was an Olympic medal threat in the shorter sprint on May 3, when he won the 100m at the Jamaica International Invitational in a blistering 9.76 seconds. The time was just .02 off the world record set in September by Jamaica’s Asafa Powell.

Global impact
Although he dominated the World Junior scene, the senior circuit had been a different story. In 2003, Bolt was left off Jamaica’s roster for the World Championships in Paris because officials felt that at age 17, he was not ready to compete on that level. At the 2005 Worlds in Helsinki, Bolt qualified for the 200m final but finished last in 26.27 seconds, almost six seconds out of seventh place. But Bolt made the most of his 2007 opportunity in Osaka, Japan, winning 200m silver in 19.91. Tyson Gay took gold in 19.85.
