The world-class athlete and the eight-time Olympics gold-medalist Usain Bolt's name is one of the feared personalities in the running race category. But, his newly-born daughter has more weight in terms of the name. And her name is Olympia Lightning Bolt, after all, she is Usain Bolt's daughter, who is the fierce racer and fast as lightning.
The multiple-times Olympic champion revealed the pictures of his daughter, Olympia Lightning, on 8 July on Twitter. It has already been a couple of months of welcoming the little angel in the family. However, this is the first time Bolt came off with his baby's pictures publicly.

Usain Bolt and his girlfriend, Kasi Bennett, welcomed their first kid on 17 May 2020 and started a new chapter of their life together. He wrote the same thing on his Twitter post;
"Now we have started a new chapter together with our daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt. I look forward to what the future will bring for us but be reassured that I will be the ROCK for this family.”
Back in February 2020, Bolt mentioned that he would not encourage his offsprings to pursue their career in sprints. But after the death of Kobe Bryant, Bolt has some different hope for his child. Bolt, who knew Kobe Bryant's tight-knit bond with his daughters, stated that he would love to have the feeling the same as the late basketball maestro.
Similarly, Usain Bolt wishes to have three kids with his partner, Kasi Bennett.
Who Is Olympia Lightning Bolt?
Olympia Lighting Bolt is the first child of the world-record-holding sprinter, Usain Bolt, and his girlfriend, Kasi Bennett. 2020 is the birth year of Olympia Lighting, and her birthday is on 17 May. Her parents are together for four years since 2016.
The revelation was late; however, it was still surprising. There were no stories of Usain Bolt's way to fatherhood in the media. And he played with words while keeping the name of his little angel. The name Olympia Lightning somehow hints that the newly born child of the eight-time Olympic gold medalist's daughter will follow his footsteps.
Usain Bolt previously said that he would not encourage his offsprings to pursue sprinting, though.
