For most athletes, running a 100m race is a serious business. One mistake and you’re outdone for good.

Usain Bolt is different, as he has proved in the last three Olympic Games. During his time in Rio, the Jamaican athlete sent Twitter ablaze with a picture of him midway through the 100m semi-final race.

The fastest man alive practically paused to say ‘cheese’ to the cameras as his fellow athletes run to save their lives.

Bolt won the race, qualified to finals and won it too.

Usain Bolt will not be at another Olympic Games as he drew the curtain down on his Olympic career in Rio. But not before signing out in some style.

Bolt won the 100m gold, the 200m gold and the 4x100m relay at the Olympic Games in Rio for his threepeat since breaking onto the stage in Beijing 2008.

The Jamaican athlete had won the gold medals in all three of these events during his participation at the Olympic Games in Beijing and London 2012.

Blimey! That is some greatness.

Now, the winner of the 100m, 200m and 4x100m gold medals at the last three Olympics is set to marry Jamaican girlfriend Kasi Bennett according to his big sister, Christine Bolt-Hylton.

Christine Bolt-Hylton told The Sun in an interview:

“I’ve met her and she’s lovely. She’s perfect for Usain.

“I would say that there’s a very strong possibility they’ll get engaged when he comes home.

“I last saw them in March at Usain’s restaurant in Jamaica and they looked very comfortable together, sharing their food and laughing and joking.

“They like the same music, the same food and doing the same things together and it makes sense for them to get together.

“I’ve talked to Usain about starting a family and he says he wants to, and I’m sure he will now he’s achieved so much.

“He doesn’t live with Kasi at the moment but he spends all his time with her when he’s here, chilling out and relaxing between races and training.

“Usain has had a few girlfriends, but not many – but no one ever as serious as Kasi and I’m sure he’ll be settling down with her before long.

“I think she’s the one.”
