Usain Bolt has given his daughter a name synonymous with his legacy as a world champion and one of the greatest sprinters of all time.
On Tuesday, the Jamaican world record holder shared exclusive photos of his adorable bundle of joy and gloriously revealed her name, Olympia Lightning Bolt. Befitting, isn’t it? The first photo, captioned with the baby’s name, was shared on Twitter.

Bolt, 33, and Kasi, announced they were expecting Olympia in January. They welcomed her on May 17.
Currently on retirement, Bolt holds the records for the fastest 100m and 200m races, a feat he achieved at the 2009 Berlin World Athletics Championships. With 23 gold medals to his name, the 11-time world champion is also the only male athlete to win three 100m Olympic gold medals, CNN reports.
