Olympic medalist Usain Bolt runs in Peru, beats a mototaxi

LIMA, Apr 4, 2019, ANDINA. The world’s greatest sprinter of all time, Jamaican Usain Bolt, on Tuesday ran against a traditional mototaxi —and defeated it— during an exhibition, which took place in Lima City’s residential Miraflores district, reported the ANDINA.

The simulated short race —less than 100 meters— lasted approximately six seconds.

Afterwards, the athlete got into the vehicle and even drove it, thus amazing supporters and journalists present in the area. He was also handed a Peruvian flag, with which he posed for pictures.

Later, he received some gifts —such as a traditional chullo (a knitted wool cap with earflaps)— from the fans and other attendees.

32-year-old Bolt arrived in the Peruvian capital city today to participate in events sponsored by a sports brand.

As is known, Usain Bolt is the fastest man alive and has claimed a total of 8 gold medals at the Beijing 2008, London 2012, and Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
