Yes, Usain Bolt is said to be the greatest athlete to ever participate in the Commonwealth games. Usain Bolt made the best use of his commonwealth games; he used the opportunity as a stepping stone to break records in the Olympic Games and world champion games. Bolt currently holds the record as the fastest in 100m dash at 9.59 seconds, making him the fastest in World history. He is also the world record holder in 200m and 4 x 100m relay.

Usain Bolt is the only sprinter to ever win a gold medal in 3 consecutive Olympics in 100m and 200m sprint. He has won a total of 8 gold medals in the Olympics.

When it comes to being the fastest, there is no doubt that Usain Bolt has to be the fastest for 100m and 200m race. Even though he is very fast, he is still not considered to be the greatest athlete. This title is currently reserved to Lee Evans, who hails from the United States.

He is considered to be the world’s greatest athlete because he broke the record for the men’s 400m race in the Olympics. This is definitely a huge deal. Take note that there are also other athletes who are considered to be great in the Olympics, such as Michael Phelps and Ray Ewry. Ewry is actually very good at standing jump events that do not happen in the Olympics anymore.

One can easily say that yes that it is Usain Bolt that was the greatest athlete to ever participate in the Commonwealth Games. He was able to use the Commonwealth Games as a spring board for stepping on to the track for the major Olympic Games.

Bolt has the fastest time ever recorded in the 100m dash at 9.59 which crowns him as the fastest man in the history of the world . Bolt always dominated on the track and he was able to do the same thing when he competed in the Commonwealth Games. Bolt is a household name and that is certainly one of the perks and compliments of training hard plus having huge success in the Commonwealth Games and the modern Olympiad.

His dominance and the auora that surrounded Bolt was one that not many ahtletes have been able to experience. Usain Bolt is the greatest athlete to ever compete in the Commonwealth Games because he was able to go on to bigger and better heights and become well known internationally.
