As anticipation around the expected USA vs Jamaica showdown at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games continues to brew track legend Usain Bolt has become a top trending topic in sports on X(formerly known as Twitter).

Given Jamaica’s resurgence in male sprinting, conversations have been brewing about the country returning among the medal contenders over 100m for the first time since Bolt’s retirement.

However, mentions about the legendary Jamaican would’ve spiked as part of fact checks and reactions to recent reports around American sprinter Noah Lyles being labelled as the ” world’s fastest man.”

Bolt of course holds the World records in 100m(9.58s) and 200m(19.19s) and the Olympics records over both distance-100m(9.69s) and 200m(19.30s).

The seemingly large misconception especially among the American media about the records agitated further discourse about the track icon with several users on Twitter posting clips, tweets, and retweets of times of the track icon.
