USAIN BOLT VISITS KENYA


Usain Bolt, the worlds’ fastest man, met the world’s fastest animal on four legs, the cheetah, at the Nairobi National Park in Kenya.

The Jamaican sprinter was on a four day safari in Kenya helping to launch a conservation campaign by the Zeitz Foundation.The double world and Olympic champion adopted a cheetah cub rightly naming it ‘Lightning Bolt’.Usain Bolt had initially toured the Nairobi Animal Orphange where he came face to face with full grown cheetahs.

Colin Jackson, a former 110m hurdle world record holder adopted an Eland at the same function hosted by the Kenya Wildlife Service.

When asked if he was afraid of cheetahs, Bolt said: "Yes, I was, but not anymore."
