 [June 21, 2021]
(Reuters) - Eight-time Olympic
champion Usain Bolt has announced the birth of his twin sons Thunder
and Saint Leo.
Bolt shared the news on social media on Father's Day with a photo of
the newborns, partner Kasi Bennett and daughter Olympia Lightning
who was born in May last year.
The 34-year-old sprinter, who holds world records in the 100m and
200m, added lightning bolt emojis next to each of his children's
names.
The choice of the children's names took social media by storm.
"Listen, when your name is Bolt and you're the fastest man alive,
the universe is telling you to do all the cool things with the baby
names," wrote a Twitter user.
An 11-time world champion, Bolt retired after the 2017 World
Championships in London where he suffered a hamstring injury in the
final race of his career.
