In which sport did Usain Bolt win all his Olympic gold medals?

Usain Bolt won all of his Olympic gold medals in athletics.

Bolt became the defining sprinter of the modern Olympic era, winning gold in the 100 metres, 200 metres, and 4 × 100 metres relay. He first achieved that treble at Beijing 2008 and repeated it at London 2012 and Rio 2016, although Jamaica’s 2008 relay result was later withdrawn after a teammate’s doping disqualification. Bolt therefore officially finished with eight Olympic gold medals rather than nine.

His Olympic victories came in track-and-field events, which are grouped under the sport of athletics. He was not an Olympic swimmer, cyclist, or gymnast, despite his global fame sometimes making him seem like a broader all-around sports icon.

Bolt also holds the men’s 100-metre and 200-metre world records, set at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin. His nickname, “Lightning Bolt,” reflects both his surname and his extraordinary speed.
