He won a gold medal at the 100 m at the 2011 world championships as the youngest 100 m world champion ever, and a silver medal in the 2012 Olympic Games in London in the 100 m and 200 m races for the Jamaican team.

His personal best for the 200 m (19.26 seconds) is the second fastest ever after Bolt. He holds the national junior record for the 100 metres, and was formerly the youngest sprinter to have broken the 10-second barrier (at 19 years, 196 days). In 2009, along with three other sprinters he was suspended for three months after testing positive for a substance similar to a banned stimulant. He is coached by Glen Mills. His training partners are Usain Bolt and Daniel Bailey.
