Which sport is Usain Bolt listed as competing in?

Usain Bolt is listed as competing in track and field.

Track and field is the broad athletics sport that includes sprinting, hurdling, jumping, throwing and combined events. Bolt’s specialty was sprinting, especially the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4 × 100 metres relay.

Bolt represented Jamaica and became one of track and field’s defining athletes. He won eight Olympic gold medals and held the world records in the 100 metres and 200 metres, as well as the 4 × 100 metres relay with Jamaica.

A common mix-up is calling Bolt a footballer because he pursued professional football after retiring from athletics. He trained with clubs including Borussia Dortmund and Australia’s Central Coast Mariners, but his listed sport and historic competitive career are in track and field.
