What Guy Am I, Am I Sonic?

Question

I could be a bolt

I will meet you at the 100m before the world could catch me

Ask me using my name,

I will say "Yes"

I love yellow and green and my lightning-hot nickname

Who am I?

Hint:

I am not Sonic the Hedgehog

No more hints as the clues can be deciphered without any more help. Good Luck!

if you change the color from green to red you get a whole new (relatively easy) answer — MrSudds, Mar 11 '15 at 20:09
@PythonMaster Don't give up too soon! :-) You just need to obfuscate the clues a bit more. There are some good posts here about how to write a good riddle: one, two, three — Rand al'Thor, Mar 11 '15 at 20:15
I'm not giving up. The fact people answer so fast is a riddle to me — Anthony Pham, Mar 11 '15 at 20:16

You are

Usain Bolt

I could be a bolt

Bolt is your last name.

I will meet you at the 100m before the world could catch me

You own the world record in the 100 meter dash.

Ask me using my name,

If I ask you "Usain" as in "You sane?"

I will say "Yes"

Presumably you will say you are sane.

I love yellow and green and my lightning-hot nickname

Jamaica's colors are yellow and green, and your nickname is "Lightning Bolt".
