Unit 4

All fun and games Test B

1. Read the text.

Usain Bolt was born in 1986 and he is now the fastest man in the world. When he was younger,
he didn’t think about
anything else than
sports, but Pablo
McNeil, who was Bolt’s
coach, thought he had
all the conditions to
become an excellent
athlete. He just needed
to work harder. At the
age of twelve, in the
annual primary schools’
meeting, everyone there was slower than him, so he won the competition. In the 2002 World
Junior Championships he became the youngest world-junior gold medallist by winning the
200m in a time of 20.61s. In 2007 Bolt won more silver medals and that’s when he started
working harder on the 100m. He broke the 100m world record, which he still holds, in 2009. He
can run 100m in 9.58s.
