Bolt became the first man in track and field history to claim the triple-treble by winning his third-straight set of 100 metres, 200 metres and sprint relay title in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
Already a legend and the most successful male sprinter of all time, the victories took Bolt’s total titles to 20, nine of which are Olympic gold, with 11 World Championship titles. Of this, an incredible 13 are individual gold medals. Bolt also has two silver medals from the 2007 World Championships in the 200 metres and 4X100 metres relay.

Incredibly, Bolt achieved all this despite a significant injury just weeks before the Rio Olympics. Bolt won his record sixth IAAF Athlete of the Year Award in 2016.
