It might surprise some to know that Usain Bolt, the fastest man on earth, hasn’t always been invincible. Interestingly, Bolt had a friend in school, named Ricardo Geddes, who was faster than him. “One day Bolt’s teacher bet him a chicken dinner if he could beat Geddes. He never lost again,” says Katie Gornall, Presenter, BBC World News. Gornall, who travelled to Jamaica to meet Bolt, fresh from his Rio 2016 Olympics success, has come up with a new documentary titled Born to Run that captures the inspiring journey of the athlete.
