Usain Bolt & Kasi Bennett

Jamaican eight-time Olympic gold medal winner Usain Bolt and his partner Kasi Bennett celebrated Father’s Day in 2021 by introducing their new-born twins, son Saint Leo Bolt and daughter Thunder Bolt. The Olympic champion continued his unique naming convention for his children with the arrival of the twins. In 2020, his first child, a daughter, was named Olympia Lightning Bolt.

The couple announced the new births with Father’s Day posts to Ingram, and the names of the children sparked instant comments from Bolt’s followers. Tennis star Serena Williams, whose daughter with Alexia Ohanian is also named Olympia, offered a replay featuring four heart-eyed emojis and four hearts.

Bolt holds 11 world championships, as well as world records in the 100 meters with 9.58 seconds and the 200 meters with 19.19 seconds. The Jamaican is the only sprinter to have won 100-meter and 200-meter gold medals at three consecutive Olympic Games, having won in 2008. 2012, and 2016.
