They say when in Rome you do as the Romans do and Usain Bolt displayed this in a great way when he performed the ‘breaking plates’ tradition while on holiday in Greece.

Jamaican sprint great Usain Bolt has been enjoying his retirement and that includes some gateway to exotic places.

Bolt recently jetted off to Greece where he had a great time in Mykonos, an ireland in Greece, which is famous for its sandy beaches as well as summer party atmosphere and the fastest man alive made the most of it.

In a clip posted on his X handle, Bolt could be seen engaging in a famous Greek tradition of breaking plates where he had a heap of plates which he smashed into pieces.

The plate smashing, popular at key events in Greece, like weddings and other celebrations, is used to express joy and celebrate but is also believed to ward off evil spirits.

Bolt Keeps Up With Greek Tradition While On Holiday

Bolt could be seen smashing the plates alongside another man before hugging him after completing the task as fans cheered and took videos.

The 100m and 200m world record holder has not raced since he hung up his spikes in 2017 as the greatest sprinter ever lived, having won eight Olympics gold medals and 11 world titles.

Bolt has also used his time to promote various brands, inspire upcoming sprinters and was recently named the tourism ambassador of Jamaica to promote his country as a great tourist destination.

The 38-year-old enjoys huge popularity around the world thanks to his heroics on the track and fans were in awe of him during his time on the Greek island.
