Skater Yuzuru Hanyu and snowboarder Ayumu Hirano are both titanic icons of their genre. Both possess phenomenal athleticism combined with breathtaking artistry. The two have shattered numerous records, and have triumphed on the world’s biggest stages. And there’s no shortage of flair, mystique, and sheer voltage from these two legends.
An eleven-time World Champion, Usain Bolt won consecutive World Championship 100 m, 200 m and 4 × 100 metres relay gold medals from 2009 to 2015, with the exception of a 100 m false start in 2011. He is the most successful male athlete of the World Championships. Bolt is the first athlete to win four World Championship titles in the 200 m and is one of the most successful in the 100 m with three titles, being the first person to run sub-9.7s and sub-9.6s.
Bolt is the only sprinter to win Olympic 100 m and 200 m titles at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012, and 2016). He also won two 4 × 100 relay gold medals. He gained worldwide fame for his double sprint victory in world record times at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which made him the first person to hold both records since fully automatic time became mandatory.
