The world's fastest man over 100 and 200 metres, Usain Bolt, may not have been known for his dancing skills, but he has excited the curiosity of many by showcasing a few moves before and after his races.
Only moments after giving the world a spectacular show of speed and endurance by winning the men's 200-metre event in a world record time of 19.30 seconds Wednesday, as part of his celebrations, the ever-cheerful Bolt launched into a few off-the-track routines by doing the 'Gully Creepa' and '90's Rock'.
New dance
Dancer, David Smith, more popularly known as Ice, creator of the 'Gully Creepa', says he too is thankful and in return, has already created a dance called 'Usain Bolt'.
"A Gully Creepa a di bigges' dance out a Jamaica, yu nuh si Mr Bolt a creep pon live TV ... Mi have one name Usain Bolt weh ago tek di whole place..a one a di maddest ting," he says.
With earphones in his ears, Bolt also made the 'Gully Creepa' part of his warm-up practice for his semi-final heat of the 200-metre event on Tuesday.
Exposure
While celebrating his win in the 100 metres on Saturday, Bolt did the 'Nuh Linga', a dance move created by dancer Marlon 'Overmars' Hardy, of the Nannyville, St Andrew-based dance troupe Ravers Clavers.
Overmars has expressed gratitude for the exposure his dance has received.
Meanwhile, 25-year-old Melaine Walker gave a quick hint of the 'dutty wine' while she lined up for the final of the women's 400-metre hurdles event.
That move was created by the 'Attitude Girls' of Montego Bay, St James.
