Usain Bolt Golden Boy

Usain Bolt's golden run at three different Olympics.

Usain Bolt's golden run at three different Olympics. Bolt won three gold medals, in the 100-meter and 200-meter individual events, and as a member of the Jamaican relay 4x100m team, at three different Olympics - in 2008, 2012 and 2016.

However, in 2016, the International Olympic Committee retested athlete samples from the 2008 Olympics, and found Bolt's relay teammate, Nesta Carter, tested positive for the stimulant methylhexaneamine. As a result, the IOC stripped that gold medal from the Jamaican team, including Bolt.
