Usain Bolt immortalised as Temple Run 2 character

SELF-CONFESSED Temple Run 2 addict, and World’s Fastest Man, Usain Bolt, has been immortalised as a character in Imangi’s popular endless runner.

Bolt – famous for his consecutive 100m sprint victories at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympic Games – can be purchased in Temple Run 2 donning his Jamaican national strip and striking his lightning bolt pose.

“I am a big fan of Temple Run,” Bolt said.

“I travel all over the world and travel time gives me lots of opportunity to play Temple Run at airports or on car journeys. It’s exciting to see myself represented within a game I already play.”

According to a post on Bolt’s website today, the character is “gifted with special and unique abilities, allowing him to boost ahead at a record-breaking pace while activating the coin magnet at the same time.

Bolt’s character will certainly need all the superpowers he can get, given the real Bolt is best at short sprints on a flat 100 metre track.
