Legendary Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has been officially named a Guinness World Records (GWR) ICON, joining an elite group celebrated for extraordinary achievements.

Bolt, widely regarded as the fastest man in the world, holds multiple world records — most notably the 100 metres sprint, which he completed in a jaw-dropping 9.58 seconds.

Bolt accomplishments have made him a mainstay in the Guinness World Records book for years.

Speaking on the honour, Bolt said, “I’m honoured to be a part of the greats, and always happy to be recognized by the Guinness World Records book. For years I’ve been in there and I’ve finally got all the certificates, which are going to look really good in my house.”

Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday, personally presented Bolt with the prestigious ICON certificate, marking yet another milestone in the athlete’s remarkable career.
