At just 26, Trinidadian-born track and field star Kerron Clement is a two-time world champion and Olympic silver medalist headed to London to compete in the 2012 summer games. And, in case you missed it, the brother has one of the tightest eight-packs we’ve ever seen. Fitness does a body good, no? Go, Kerron, go!
