In 2008, Usain Bolt won gold in 100m (9.69 secs) and 200m (19.30 secs) at the Beijing Olympics while only eating McDonald’s.
He didn’t want to take risks on food, so Bolt had 100 Chicken McNuggets a day during his 10-day stay in the country (1000 nuggets total).
"I should have gotten a gold medal for all that chowing down," Bolt wrote in his biography Faster than Lightning.
Almost as impressive as the nuggets-only diet (40 for breakfast + 20 for lunch + 40 for dinner), Bolt would wake up from a nap less than an hour before his gold-medal races.
This remains the greatest athletic achievement in human history.
