Its safe to say that Usain Bolt is one of the fastest humans in the world and the greatest sprinter of all-time. He is the world record holder of the 100 meter, 200 meter & 4x100 meter relay.

Here are five really fast facts about the Jamaican runner.

1. He ran his 100-meter record in 2008 with his shoe untied.

2. He can run as fast as 23.7 miles per hour.

3. He claims to have eaten McDonald’s chicken nuggets before winning gold at the 2008 Olympics.

4. He has scoliosis but never let it affect his running.

5. He can outrun a black mamba snake, squirrel, chicken and pig. But not an elephant, kangaroo or giraffe. Although we’d love to see him go head to head against any of them.
