The Jamaican sprinter had retired back in 2017, but his stardom has only increased immensely since, courtesy of his humble personality and other interest. Bolt is often seen appearing in charity events to give back to the society that recognizes him as the “lightning bolt.”

Bolt has partnered with Gatorade and the Sports, Fitness, and Wellbeing Hub at the Expo 2020 Dubai for a charity event on November 13th. A 1.45-kilometer family run will raise money for the Al Noor Rehabilitation & Welfare Association for People of Determination.
