Bolt, Fraser-Pryce among ESPN’s greatest athlete of the 21st century

Jamaica's sprint legend Usain Bolt is listed at 9th on ESPN's greatest athletes of the 21st century.

Bolt, who holds the Men's 100m and 200m world records at 9.58 and 19.19 respectively, is the only sprinter to win the sprint double title at three consecutive Olympics.

Heading into her fifth Olympic Games, Jamaica's 'pocket rocket' Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, is listed at 77th.

Fraser-Pryce is a three-time Olympic gold medallist, who at the 2008 Olympics became the first woman from the Caribbean to win gold in the 100 metres. 

The list is headed by American swimmer Michael Phelps.
