Carlin Isles: Double Olympic dream of 'rugby's fastest man'

Carlin Isles is a sprinter-turned-rugby player. He wants to compete in multiple sports at the Rio Olympics. Isles spent his childhood in foster care. His twin sister Cambra was always by his side. They were adopted by Starlett and Charles Isles just shy of their eighth birthdays. Isles has a record for running 60 meters in 6.68 seconds. The record still stands today. Islanders credits his adoptive mother as a key influence in his life. She taught him values and wanted the best for him and his sister. In college, Isles played American Football.

Carlin Isles is the fastest rugby player in the world. He is also a sprinter and hopes to make Team USA's athletics team. His coach, Mike Friday, doubts his chances of making the track team for the Olympics. The U.S. finished sixth in last two Sevens World Series standings. Isles believes they can win a medal in Rio. The team is currently playing in London. They finished second in their last series. It is their first Seven's World Tour.

Carlin Isles is aiming to make the Rugby 7s squad for Rio 2016. He is also aiming for the Olympic Games. Friday believes Isles can do both. Isles has a time of 10.16 seconds in a U.S. Olympic Trials event. Isles believes he can break 10 seconds over 100m. The final Olympic trials are on July 1-10. Islanders is confident he could break the 10-second barrier. His training for rugby and athletics has helped him develop his muscles. It is a difficult choice for Isles. For Friday, Isles' attitude and determination helped his success. They both believe he is capable of breaking 10 secs.
