Usain Bolt Reveals The One Celebrity That Left Him Starstruck

Retired Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has spent time with some of the greatest athletes and entertainers on the planet but only one struck him silent.

The fastest man alive Bolt won eight Olympic gold medals and is the holder of three sprint world records. Not only that, the 11-time world champion has a share of the record for the 4 x100m relay to his name.

The Jamaican sprinter still boasts the fastest individual times over both 100m and 200m, running the shorter distance in an astonishing time of 9.58 seconds at the World Championships in Berlin in 2009. To seal his sprinting legacy, he broke the 200m record in the same championships.

Bolt was lucky to rub shoulders with the likes of Diego Maradona and Michael Jordan but revealed to the Sports Bible that he was left in awe of one particular singing superstar.

Pressed further to reveal who the superstar was, Bolt said: "One person. Beyonce." Bolt continued: "At the basketball all-star weekend I meet Jay [Z] for the first time and we had a conversation, and he said 'Oh, meet my wife.' I say 'hello' and I've got things planned in my head that I'm going to say to her. "Nothing. I just said 'hi'. That's it." 

Beyonce has sold more than 260 million records as a solo artist and as a member of Destiny's Child, undeniably a level of commercial success that justifies a mononym and the gawping, starstruck admiration of a world-class athlete who might be one of the few humans who's just as famous as she is.

Bolt has the three fastest 100m times of all time and his record has become the ultimate speed target. 

Teenage phenomenon Gout Gout has matched some of Bolt's remarkable junior times and former rival Justin Gatlin running a gimmicked time of 9.45 seconds with the assistance of powerful wind machines. 

Gout Gout is tipped to break Bolt's records and the 17-year-old is finally set to make is senior debut at the World Championships in Tokyo, September, where he will face off Olympic champion Noah Lyles and Usain Bolt's compatriot Kishane Thompson.
