The stage is set for the 2024 Laureus World Sports Awards. The biggest names from the world of sports have arrived at Madrid’s Palacio de Cibeles to grace the most prestigious honors event on the international sporting calendar. While the ceremony hasn’t even begun yet, Usain Bolt and Jude Bellingham have already taken center stage by unexpectedly joining forces in a unique gesture, sending fans around the world into a frenzy. 

Bolt and Bellingham bumped into each other on the red carpet while posing for the flashing cameras. Interestingly, the former Olympian did quite the unexpected for the paparazzi as he performed the England international’s usual celebration of flaring arms wide open in the air alongside the midfielder. The moment saw all the cameras click tons of pictures. Remarkably, renowned journalist Victorio Calero took the opportunity to chat with both athletes after their posing session was over. 

Calero told Bolt that he prefers the Real Madrid star’s celebration over the Jamaican’s legendary “To Di World” celebration, where the former sprinter kneels down while aiming both hands up in the air. This led Bolt to fire an interesting response. He said, “It’s okay, I’ve seen him do it and it’s iconic how he does it.” This reply made Bellingham smile with Bolt also sharing the laugh with the 23-year-old player. It seems the iconic Olympian is quite impressed with the Los Blancos sensation. 

The former sprinter abandoned his own celebration just to experience the unique moment with the former Dortmund player. Undoubtedly, it must have left Bellingham on cloud nine as well. But more than that, it’s the fans who are in awe of this moment.

The Bolt-Bellingham moment further tells us that the former Borussia Dortmund man might be the only youngster in the soccer world to have such an influence.

His time at Real Madrid so far also makes him a standout from the rest of the crowd. Be it La Liga or the UEFA Champions League, he is delivering with full force. Does this make him Ballon d’Or worthy? Well, this fan thinks so.

There’s no denying the impact of Usain Bolt in the history of sports. But looking at the success rate of Bellingham, is he the new legend in making and could even surpass the influence of the Jamaican?

However, many claim that this is not a celebration that is invented by Jude Bellingham. Lionel Messi has earlier done the exact same celebration during his Barcelona days, especially against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu.

Whatever the arguments maybe, it still goes down as one of the most iconic moments. However, for now, we await to see if he clinches the Laureus World Sports ‘Breakthrough of the Year’ Award tonight.
