This is a funny story I just saw on TV. The fastest man on the planet has adopted the fastest animal. Usain Bolt adopted a cheetah today and fittingly named it “Lightning Bolt.” (Great name!!)
Usain Bolt welcomed a new baby cheetah named Lightning Bolt into his life.
The Jamaican sprinter's sponsorship of the 3-month-old male cheetah is part of an effort to boost Kenyan conservation efforts of its famous wildlife, whose survival is threatened by trophy hunting, climate change and human encroachment.
The world record-holder in the 100 and 200 meters paid $13,700 to formally adopt the cub. He will also pay $3,000 a year to care for Lighting Bolt, who will be raised at an animal orphanage in Nairobi.

Watch his reaction. I think I was doing the same thing. Wow!

This guy is absolutely amazing. If he keeps this up, he has to be considered for one of the most dominant athletes ever. Bolt is an absolute freak of nature!
Bolt ran 100 meters in 9.58 seconds Sunday at world championships, turning his showdown against Tyson Gay into a rout and putting to rest the questions that went unanswered last time he set the record -- at his showboating Olympic run of 9.69 seconds.
Yes, he can do better when he goes all out the whole way. Yes, he can break 9.6.
It was the biggest change in the record since electronic time was introduced in 1968. It came very close to the 9.55-second time that an American professor said Bolt would have run in Beijing had he run all out in the Olympic 100 finals.
