  • Usain Bolt's 9.58 Party

     Jamaican faster than bullet/Bet dem neva know seh Jamaicans can do it /9.69 seconds before you know it di man ova do it. Now I know that those were not the exact lyrics to Mavado 2008 hit On The Go (Faster Than Bullet), as a matter of fact that song was actually about the former Jamaican 100 metre record holder Asfa Powell, however that excerpt personifies the meteoric rise of current record holder Usain Bolt.

    Bolt, who lowered his personal best twice in record breaking fashion in successive major events is currently planning to celebrate his latest 9.58 achievement with his fellow Jamaicans in the aptly dubbed: Usain Bolt 9.58 SuperParty. The launch of which was held at the Terra Nova hotel in Kingston and had a mixture of media, sports personalities and general well wishers of Usain and his accomplishments.

    Honestly our photographers could not capture everybody who was present on that night but check the photos above and see if you see yourself or someone you know.
