COVID-19: Usain Bolt's cheeky message on social distancing

COVID-19: Usain Bolt's cheeky message on social distancing

Usain Bolt has a funny take on the social distancing message.

World fastest man, Usain Bolt has encouraged social distancing with one of the cheekiest but effective social media posts yet during coronavirus-enforced restrictions.

Bolt's Happy Easter post had a photo of him easily winning the 100m final at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Bolt-in this race had a clear margin over his rivals, breaking the world record with a time of 9.69 seconds.

In the photo, Bolt even turned to look back at his rivals over the final 20m and crossed the line sideways.

In reply to his post, New York Times tennis correspondent Christopher Clarey posted a photo of Bolt crossing the finish line with no rivals in sight and captioned it as Self-isolation.
