gan tres medallas de oro en Beijing
2008 y Londres 2012, Juego Olmpico
en el que se lo bautiz como el
hombre ms rpido del mundo. Sin
embargo, la vida de Usain Bolt no fue
siempre de gloria y xito, tuvo que
afrontar momentos difciles.
En Atenas 2004 sufri un duro golpe y
no logr ninguna medalla. En ese
preciso momento de su carrera, su
entrenador, Glen Mills, lo llev a un
doctor alemn, llamado Muller-
Wolhlfahrt, que, literalmente, lo salv.
l fue quien identific en el cuerpo de
Bolt una -casi- imperceptible renguera y
algunos problemas en su espalda,
donde el principal era la escoliosis y,
desde entonces, comenz a fortalecer
esa debilidad en su cuerpo.
Pero no era el nico problema que
tena: su pierna derecha es 1.5
centmetros ms corta que la izquierda.
Las consecuencias eran que sufra
duras descompensaciones en los
primeros apoyos y en el impulso.
Super sus problemas gracias a
extensivos e intensivos ejercicios de
abdominales y lumbares. Trabaj muy
duro, pero no estaba solo, ya que tuvo
como compaeros a experimentados
velocistas como Kim Collins y Dwain
Chambers.
Ya para julio de 2005, superara por un
tercio de segundo la marca de los 200
m en el campeonato centroamericano y
del Caribe con un tiempo de 20,03 s, y
posteriormente estableci su mejor
registro personal del ao en la misma
prueba en la ciudad de Londres,
Inglaterra, en el Crystal Palace,
parando el reloj en 19,99 s.
Won three gold medals in Beijing 2008
and London 2012 Olympic Games in
which he was baptized as "the fastest
man in the world." However, the life of
Usain Bolt was not always of glory and
success, he had to face difficult
moments.
In Athens 2004 suffered a hard blow
and did not obtain any medal. At that
precise moment of his career, his
coach, Glen Mills, took him to a
German doctor, named Muller-
Wolhlfahrt, who literally saved him.
He was the one who identified in Bolt's
body a-almost imperceptible slobber
and some problems in his back, where
the main one was the scoliosis and,
since then, began to strengthen that
weakness in his body.
But it was not the only problem he had:
his right leg is 1.5 centimeters shorter
than the left. The consequences were
that he suffered severe
decompensation in the first supports
and in the impulse.
He overcame his problems thanks to
extensive and intensive abdominal and
lumbar exercises. He worked very hard,
but he was not alone, having as
companions to experienced sprinters
like Kim Collins and Dwain Chambers.
By July 2005, he would surpass the
200m mark in the Central American and
Caribbean Championship by a third of a
second with a time of 20.03s, and later
established his personal best record of
the year in the same event in the city
London, England, at the Crystal Palace,
stopping the clock at 19.99 s.
