Usain Bolt dedicating his record third gold medal to Jamaica and thanking his fans for supporting his career
On Sunday, August 14,
2016, 29-year-old Jamaican
sprinter, Usain Bolt, won the gold medal in the 100m at the
2016 Rio Olympics. Bolt made history in becoming the first
athlete to win the 100m in three consecutive Olympic games. This
was made all the more impressive due to the fact Bolt was coming off a recent
injury. It was a great moment for the track star and his
coach, my dad's friend,
Glen Mills. Congrats!
Usain Bolt's tweet on his Twitter page about winning gold at the Olympics
Bolt dedicated his
historic win to Jamaica, a small island nation in the
Caribbean that has been uplifted by his success and that of
his fellow Jamaican Olympians. In a tweet on the
social networking website Twitter, Bolt stated, "Jamaica
stand up. This for you my people." Bolt also thanked his
fans for the support, "Thanks for all the support my peeps.
#blessed #TeamBolt #TeamJamaica #Rio2016."
