Usain Bolt dominated the 2008 Olympics, breaking records and winning gold, all while sticking to an unexpected and unconventional diet.
Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt is widely regarded as the greatest sprinter of all time holding world records in both the 100m and 200m events.
With eight Olympic gold medals to his name, Bolt's dominance on the track was unmatched.
However, one of the most surprising aspects of his success at the 2008 Beijing Olympics was not just his blistering speed—it was his diet.

10 Best paid Africa national team coaches: Where does Kenya’s Benni McCarthy rank?
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has joined the list of highest paid Africa national team coaches but he still does not compare to many others on the continent.
Bolt, who was just 21 years old at the time, famously fueled his record-breaking performances by eating an unexpected meal every day: McDonald's chicken nuggets.
"Honestly, I ate nothing else in all my time out in China except chicken nuggets," Bolt wrote in his autobiography The Fastest Man Alive as per SportBible.
“They were the only food I could properly trust which wouldn’t affect my stomach. On arriving at the [pre-Olympic] training camp I’d tried a local Chinese meal, which wasn’t like the ones we eat in the West, and my body didn’t react well,” he explained.
Having suffered from an upset stomach after eating Chinese food early on in his stay, Bolt decided to stick with what he knew and trusted—McDonald's. Throughout the Games, he consumed nuggets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, always washing them down with bottled water.

FIFA rankings: Harambee Starlets biggest climbers in the world thanks to win over Tunisia
Harambee Starlets have moved up seven places in the latest FIFA rankings thanks to their impressive results against Tunisia in the WAFCON qualifiers.
Despite his unconventional diet, Bolt delivered one of the most electrifying performances in Olympic history. He shattered his own world record in the 100m final, blazing across the finish line in an astonishing 9.69 seconds, even slowing down to celebrate before the finish.
He then followed it up by breaking Michael Johnson’s long-standing 200m record with a time of 19.30 seconds. In doing so, Bolt became the first sprinter since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win gold in both events at the same Olympic Games.

Benni McCarthy’s strategy to convince dual-nationals like Linton Maina & Tottenham's Djed Spence to play for Harambee Stars
How new Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy will manage to convince foreign-based players, including dual-citizens like Linton Maina & Djed Spence, to play for Harambee Stars.
The Jamaican sprinter would later return to Beijing for the 2015 World Championships, where he once again dominated, winning gold in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay. However, this time, his diet was far more diverse.
“Man, I should have gotten a gold medal for all that chowing down,” Bolt joked in his second autobiography, Faster than Lightning.
“They really are providing a lot better food here than in 2008, so no chicken nuggets for me this year.”
Beyond his legendary Olympic performances, Bolt has always been an entertaining and confident presence in the world of athletics.
In a recent appearance on the Ready Set Go podcast with fellow sprinters Justin Gatlin and Rodney Green, he shared his dream 100m race lineup.
Bolt included himself, Gatlin, Tyson Gay, Asafa Powell, and Yohan Blake, alongside sprint legends Maurice Green and Ben Johnson. He also gave a nod to current sprint star Noah Lyles.
"Me, you (Justin Gatlin), Tyson Gay, Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake," Bolt said. "I would definitely like to compete against Maurice Green, Ben Johnson. Let's give Noah the spot just because I would love to race against him."
When Green asked if Carl Lewis deserved a place in the dream lineup, Bolt was quick to dismiss the idea. "Nah," he replied.
Usain Bolt’s remarkable Olympic journey has been filled with iconic moments, from record-breaking sprints to his signature lightning pose.

How new Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy will manage to convince foreign-based players, including dual-citizens like Linton Maina & Djed Spence, to play for Harambee Stars.
But perhaps just as unforgettable is the fact that, at the height of his powers, the fastest man on the planet was powered by something as simple as McDonald's chicken nuggets.
