Usain Bolt rejects highway honour |
Almost a year since it was first announced in Parliament by Prime Minister Bruce Golding that a section of Highway 2000 was to be renamed in honour of double Olympic and World Championship gold medalist and world record holder Usain Bolt, news is now emerging that the athlete has asked that the decision be deferred.
Bolt, in the aftermath of his heroics at the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Berlin, Germany, where he won gold in the 100 metres and the 200 metres both in record breaking time, was also accorded the nation's fourth highest honour, the Order of Jamaica, making him the youngest recipient of this award.
