Read the passage. Then answer the question.

For many athletes, the ultimate victory, for themselves and their country, is winning the Olympic gold. For Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, that dream has been achieved many times over. At the 2008 Olympics, Bolt not only won track-and-field gold medals in the 100-meter, 200-meter, and 4x100-meter relay, he broke world records in each event, as well. Then, in the 2012 Olympics, he again won gold medals in all three events, and even broke his own record in the 4x100-meter relay. Truly, Usain Bolt has become a track and field legend!
