Unit 4

All fun and games Test A

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 didnt think about anything else than sports, but Pablo McNeil, who was Bolts 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 thats
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.
