Usain Bolt's uncharacteristic blunder in 2011 that left everyone stunned

As far as the track and field world is concerned, no other sprinter in the history of the sport arguably has a greater legacy than that of Usain Bolt.

The Jamaican speedster went on an eight-year tear, winning every possible gold medal that he could’ve won from the 2008 Beijing Olympics to the 2016 Rio Olympics.

He opened his individual gold medal account at the 2008 event, winning the first of his six in China.

By the conclusion of the 2016 event in Rio, Bolt would win five more in both the 100m and 200m, respectively.

In 2009, Bolt would set a world record time of 9.58 in the 100m at the 2009 World Championships, officially earning him the moniker of “World’s Fastest Man.”

However, there was one blip in his career, where in the most shocking of circumstances, Bolt didn’t win any gold.

His compatriot and home rival Yohan Blake would go on to win the race.

As it has already been mentioned, it was but a blip in the career of a legend.

While people tend to reminisce on the 100m
