Bolt is the fastest man alive over both 100m and 200m and has eight Olympic gold medals to his name as well as a slew of records.
His insane world record time of 9.58 seconds, set in Berlin at the World Athletics Championships in 2009, has been well out of reach for any other sprinter that has come along.
Despite Noah Lyles and Gout Gout being mentioned, Bolt himself has said that compatriot Oblique Seville, coached by his former trainer is the one capable of usurping him one day.
However, last week, South African sprinter Akani Simbine recorded a hugely impressive achievement which knocked Bolt off his perch.
He became the first sprinter to run sub-10 seconds in the 100m for 11 years on the trot. Bolt managed it for a decade but Simbine, a silver medalist with South Africa in the Paris Olympics, has now achieved the feat for an extra year.
Simbine did it at the Botswana Grand Prix, where he clocked in at a world-leading 2025 time of 9.90 seconds in the 100m race.
