Jamaican star, Usain Bolt needs no introduction. Having competed in the track and field for over 16 years, the 35-year-old successfully bagged several accolades to his name. However, after bidding goodbye to his track career, Bolt pursued his interest in other fields. Be it fashion, football, or even producing his first reggae album, the Olympic legend has done it all.

Notably, Bolt also has a soft spot for animals and has adopted the world’s fastest animal, the Cheetah. However, he is quite the prankster as well. Reliving one of his iconic videos, Bolt released footage of the time he almost revealed the secret to his pace.

How does Usain Bolt run so fast?
Deservingly well, the track star is nicknamed ‘Lightning Bolt,’ courtesy of his speed. Recently, Bolt tweeted a throwback video of an interview where he was asked the secret behind his incredible speed. The Jamaican legend started off by saying, “I get that question a lot but, today I’ll definitely tell you. The reason why I’m so fast is…,” but the mic got disconnected at just about the right time.
Well, that was a very clever piece of work. Bolt seemed to have answered the question enthusiastically, but when he got to know that the mic wasn’t working, he was evidently upset. Safe to say, not just a good sprinter, Bolt is an exceptional actor as well.

Over the course of time, Bolt has bagged 8 Olympic gold medals and has won the World Championship a remarkable 11 times. Putting in a tremendous amount of blood and sweat, he has claimed innumerable titles under his belt, making his nation proud.
Even though the Jamaican made world records of 100m, 200m, and 4x100m, he has always been a humble personality. From smiling with competitors in the middle of a race, to cutting short his interview to pay respects to the American national anthem, Bolt’s gestures won hearts repeatedly.
