Faster Than Lightning: My Autobiography is a book written by the world champion and fastest man on Earth, nicknamed Lightning Bolt. The book is an interesting read about the life of this man. Written with a lot of passion, this autobiography reveals the interesting life of this sprinter who holds the world record for 100 metres, 200 metres and 4x100 metres relay. Fascinating to see him run at the Olympics and the world championships, this man has kept his fans enthralled with his superlative performance.
The man has written about how he was interested in cricket as a child. His coach saw his running talent and encouraged him to join track and field. Coached from his formative years, this boy turned into an ace sprinter and as he grew up he bettered his skills and aimed to be the fastest on Earth. Making his way through CARIFTA Games, at both junior and youth levels, he made his mark by winning gold in 200 metres, 400 metres and in the relay. Then he bagged gold in the world junior championships and then aimed to set his record at the world championships, where he won gold for 100 metres, 200 metres and also 4x100 metres relay in 2009, 2011 and 2013.
