Usain Bolt shares name, 1st photos of newborn daughter
Sprinting icon and former Olympian Usain Bolt has shared with the world the first photos of his baby girl and her unique, yet fitting name.
Olympia Lightning Bolt was born May 17.
Bolt shared the photos Tuesday as part of an Instagram birthday shoutout complete with maternity pics of his girlfriend Kasi Bennett, who is Olympia Lightning’s mother.
“Now we have started a new chapter together with our daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt, I look forward to what the future will bring for us,” the post read. “Be reassured that I will be the ROCK for this family….”
Bennett was celebrating her 30th birthday.
The pair have been dating for five years, according to the Daily Mail.
Bolt, 33, is an eight-time Olympic gold medalist. He holds the world record of 9.58 seconds in the 100 and 19.19 in the 200 — both set in 2009 in Berlin.
He is widely considered the greatest sprinter of all time after taking the gold in both events in three consecutive Olympic Games: 2008, 2012 and 2016.
Bolt has said that he wants to have three children.
