#2: Fun off the Clock!
It’s always exciting to see behind-the-scenes photos, and this goofy picture is one of our favorites. Usain Bolt has become a household name, and this Jamaican 6’5” sprinter made national headlines by taking home eight gold medals between 2008 and 2016 during the Beijing, London, and Rio De Janeiro Olympics. He broke the worldwide record during the 2008 Beijing Olympics for his double sprint.
He retired in 2017 and is the highest-paid professional runner in history, the only runner to make it on Forbes’s list of top-paid athletes. His love for Jamaica is well-known, and he insists that all commercials and endorsement campaigns are filmed in his home country to boost the local economy. His nickname “Lighting Bolt” is well earned because he is fast!
