‘Sir’ Usain Bolt Honored in Jamaica

“Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.” (Lois McMaster Bujold)

Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest man, has another record under his belt…Bolt has become the youngest person ever (23 years old) to receive one of his Caribbean homeland’s highest honors, the Order of Jamaica. Bolt received the award during Monday’s heritage celebrations in the capital of Kingston.

Governor General Sir Patrick Allen is seen here with Bolt after he was decorated with the Order of Jamaica, the country’s fourth highest honor…the Order was established in 1969, and is considered the equivalent of knighthood in the British honors system…which means from here on out, I shall refer to him as SIR Bolt.

This Honor was given to Bolt two days after he participated in the charity invitational celebrity cricket match…the one-day event also featured West Indies stars Chris Gayle, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Jerome Taylor facing veterans such as Courtney Walsh, Richie Richardson and Curtley Ambrose.
