Days After Teasing Twitter With ‘Unretirement’ Usain Bolt Surprises Fans With a Special Olympic Update

Despite retiring more than five years ago, Usain Bolt still remains the world’s fastest man. However, recently with Saudi Arabia majorly revamping their soccer by offering atrocious amounts to soccer stars, Bolt teased his fans with an unretirement plan. After Saudi Arabian soccer club Al Hilal offered more than $700 million to the world cup winner Kylian Mbappe for a single season, Bolt took to Twitter and quipped about unretiring.

A football lover himself, Bolt joked to his Twitter followers that for such a staggering amount for just one season, he will come out of retirement and play for Al Hilal. More recently, the Jamaican has been seen promoting the biggest sporting spectacle in the world that will grace Paris next year.

Usain Bolt brings to the fore the 2024 Olympic games

Paris 2024 Olympics just upped the hype game with a sensational Instagram reel featuring none other than the world’s fastest man himself, Usain Bolt. The reel kicks off with a bang as former Paris Saint Germain women’s football star, Laure Boulleau, steps up to imitate the iconic celebration of Usain Bolt. With arms outstretched, pointing sideways to the sky, and bending in a signature move, she mimics the track star’s victory stance. As the reel progresses, more enthusiastic participants join the fun, joyfully replicating Bolt’s legendary pose against the picturesque Parisian landscape. But the highlight of the reel comes when it switches to the man of the hour, Usain Bolt himself.

Looking at his phone, the sprinting legend witnesses the multitude of people emulating his iconic celebration. A nod here, a shake of the head there, and then a surprising twist! Bolt decided to showcase his sense of humor by imitating another social media sensation – none other than Khaby Lame. The viral social media star is known for his reaction videos, where he solves simple problems in a humorous way. Bolt, being the charismatic showman he is, hilariously takes a leaf out of Lame’s book, adding a comedic touch to the already captivating reel. The reel captioned, “Khaby Bolt? Usain Lame?? One thing’s for sure, celebrating is a serious business,” aptly captures the essence of the video. Apart from the reel, Bolt was also showered with a prestigious Olympic honor.
