It may come as a surprise that Usain Bolt -- the world's fastest man -- has never run a mile.

The revelation comes from a piece in The New Yorker that quotes Bolt's agent, Ricky Simms, as saying, "Usain has never run a mile."

The quote got all the headlines, but the story itself actually goes into great detail exploring just how fast Bolt would be able to run a mile -- if he ever chose to do so.
