Jamaican sprinting legend Usain Bolt continues to add to his achievements after being specially recognised at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2022 awards ceremony.
The eight-time Olympic gold medalist was honoured, with the Lifetime Achievement award, at the annual ceremony in Salford on Wednesday (December 21).
Bolt, 36, is the fastest sprinter in history. He retired in August 2017 as a 19-time global champion.
Bolt, widely acknowledged as the greatest sprinter of all time and the only athlete to win both the 100m and 200m at three consecutive Olympics, clocked his enduring world record 100m time of 9.58 seconds at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.
Previous winners of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Lifetime Achievement award include Billie Jean King, Pele, Bobby Charlton, Tanni Grey-Thompson, David Beckham, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Chris Hoy and last year’s recipient Simone Biles.
