Usain Bolt claims he ate 1000 Chicken McNuggets at 2008 Beijing Olympics

World's fastest man Usain Bolt has revealed in his new memoir, Faster Than Lightning that he once downed 100 Chicken McNuggets every 24 hours during the 10 days he spent in Beijing.

According to News.com.au, during the Beijing Olympics, Bolt, then 22, thought that Chinese food was odd and so he hit the nearest McDonald's in search of his favourite food, chicken McNuggets.

Bolt said that at first he ate a box of 20 for lunch, then another for dinner, and the next day he had two boxes for breakfast, one for lunch and then another couple in the evening, adding that he even grabbed some fries and some apple pie to go with it.

He also joked that he should have got a gold medal for all that eating.
