Encyclopedic overview
Nesta Carter OD (born October 11, 1985) is a Jamaican retired sprinter who specialized in the 100 metres event. Carter was successful as part of the Jamaican 4 × 100 metres relay team, taking gold and setting successive world records at the 2011 World Championships and 2012 London Olympics. He also won a 4 × 100 m silver medal at the 2007 World Championship and a gold at the 2015 World Championships. On August 11, 2013, Carter secured an individual 100 m World Championship bronze medal in Moscow, behind Justin Gatlin and teammate Usain Bolt. He followed this with another gold in the 4 × 100 metres relay.
In August 2010 he became only the fifth sprinter to run the 100 metres in less than 9.8 seconds. His 100 m personal best of 9.78 currently ranks him as the twelfth fastest man of all time, behind fellow Jamaicans Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell, Kishane Thompson, and Oblique Seville, Americans Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin, Christian Coleman, Trayvon Bromell and Fred Kerley, and Kenyan Ferdinand Omanyala.
