The sprinter shared the photos in honour of his girlfriend, Kasi Bennett’s birthday. On Instagram, Bolt wrote:
“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 but be reassured that I will be the ROCK for this family,”
The proud dad added that he was looking forward to what the “future will bring” and vowed to be “the ROCK for this family.”
The baby girl’s middle name, Lightning, is appropriate as her father, who is hailed as the world’s fastest person, has been nicknamed “Lightning Bolt.”
Usain Bolt, who retired from athletics after the 2017 World Championships in London following an injury, has world records titles in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4 x 100-meter relays.
