What country does Usain Bolt represent in athletics?

Usain Bolt represents Jamaica in athletics.

Bolt is a Jamaican retired sprinter who competed internationally for his home country throughout his career. Born in Sherwood Content, Trelawny, Jamaica, he became the most recognizable athlete in the nation’s history and one of the greatest sprinters ever.

He won Olympic sprint titles for Jamaica at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Games. Bolt is the only athlete to win the Olympic 100-metre and 200-metre titles at three consecutive Olympics. He also competed in Jamaica’s 4 × 100-metre relay teams.

Bolt’s signature records include 9.58 seconds for 100 metres, set at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, and 19.19 seconds for 200 metres at the same championships. He retired from athletics in 2017. The common mix-up is treating his international training or competition venues as a change of nationality; he represented Jamaica throughout his track career.
