Usain Bolt Issued Warning to 15-Year-Old Brit Who Broke 100m Record

Usain Bolt is often regarded as the GOAT of sprinting.

Usain Bolt has previously sent out a stern warning after a teenage British sprinter broke the 100m world record.

Jamaican sprinting legend Bolt will forever be remembered as one of the greatest athletes ever, having had a glittering career on the track.

During his professional career, Bolt managed to win eight Olympic golds. He also won 11 gold medals in the World Championships and one Commonwealth Games gold.

Furthermore, the Jamaican is still the world record holder in both 100m and 200m, having set the stunning times during his prime years.

Many sprinters have since tried and failed to get close to Bolt's world records.

Recently, a young British sprinter named Divine Iheme caught the attention of many people after he ran 100m in a staggering time of 10.30 seconds last year.

At the time, Iheme was just 14 years old and smashed the U15 world record for 100m, which previously stood at 10.51 seconds.

In comparison, Bolt's best time as a 14-year-old was 10.57 seconds, with Australian sensation Gout Gout clocking an identical time as the Jamaican at the same age.

Iheme, who is nicknamed 'Lightning', will for sure have a big future ahead of him, but Bolt has previously handed out key advice for up-and-coming sprinters.

Last year, Bolt appeared on the High Performance Podcast with Jake Humphrey as he reflected on his younger days as a sprinter.

The 39-year-old said: "When I started out, I didn't understand the concept of 'being great' because I was young.

"I was 15 when I won the world juniors, I was really young and I was really talented so I didn't have to work as hard as it was just talent, as I was winning and winning."

Bolt continued: "I remember when I got to the professional level, and I felt like it was just going to be easy.

"And I got to the stage where I would go to meets and I would lose. And I was like, 'This is strange, this is new'. So it took me a while to understand."
