Bolt is the third fittest athlete in the world. Jamaican track and field superstar Usain Bolt has been rated the third fittest athlete in sports today in a list compiled by Sports Illustrated. Using a 40 point rating system the list features sportsmen from all corners of the athletic world who were then rated in four categories; speed, strength, agility and endurance. ‘For the professional male athlete it is the very foundation of success. But even among the pros, some athletes stand head and sculpted shoulders above the rest,’ states SI. James scored a perfect 10 in every category (Speed: 10 + Strength: 10 + Agility: 10 + Endurance: 10 = TOTAL: 40) to pip Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo (Speed: 10 + Strength: 8.5 + Agility: 10 + Endurance: 10 = TOTAL: 38.5) and the worlds fastest man Bolt (Speed: 10 + Strength: 9 + Agility: 8.5 + Endurance: 9 = TOTAL: 36.5).
