'He did a great job' — Usain Bolt reveals key role father's genetics played in his dominant physique

Former Jamaican sprinter and multiple Olympic gold medalist has recently shared the key role his father’s genetics played in his athletic physique that has propelled him to glory on so many stages

Bolt, who stands a towering 6’5, has credited his dad for hitting the genetic lottery ticket with his height

In a recent video shared on his X account, the 100m world record holder commended his dad for doing a great job

«I got it from my dad man. He is 6’3 and I’m 6’5 he did a great job. My mom as well,» shared Bolt, referring to his height and frame.

Bolt’s towering frame is a regular sight in track and field as the world’s fastest man’s ever purposeful yet galloping stride has been on display on multiple world stages.

Since his rise to prominence at the age of 15 in the 2002 World Junior Championships in front of a home crowd in Kingston, Jamaica, Bolt’s physique has since gone down in history as an anomaly of athletics.

Bolt’s career has gone down as legendary, holding the title of world’s fastest man ever after his record shattering sprint in Berlin, 2009 that saw him set the 100m world record of 9.58 seconds that still stands.

The fastest man to ever live, Usain Bolt has disclosed why his Junior World Championship in 2002 holds a dear place in his heart despite his numerous titles and world records

Among his other accolades includes the 200m world record of 19.19 seconds set at the same event in Berlin where he broke his own previous record of 19.30 seconds.

With eight Olympic gold medals from three consecutive Games in 2008, 2012, and 2016 and 11 World Championship golds, Bolt has firmly established himself as a global athletics icon.
