Usain Bolt Gives His Hat To Young Volunteer | London 2012 Olympic Games

During the build up to Usain Bolt's Olympic 200m heat the Jamaican struck up a conversation with 16 year old Olympic volunteer George Hoy.
After helping Bolt with his training equipment, Hoy was shocked when Bolt offered him his hat as a thank you, another great moment from the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

This guy... Man this guy.... I am British, but i will always root for bolt. Great Athlete and great guy. There is only one Bolt!

[@fiveohfivethree]

Same. Bolt could be running against 7 Brits but I would root for Bolt everytime. He makes me feel patriotic, not for my country but for the human race. "Just look at what we can do" is what runs through my head whenever I watch him compete.

[@adriandatone3086]

Patriotism for the human race is the only patriotism that makes sense, well said.

[@Chris-ho9cm]

Such a selfless legend. It may not have meant a lot to him, just a casual gift... but that moment could be the most touching in that kids lifetime. I've always been so supportive of Usain. He's confident yet not overly cocky, and such a genuine guy

[@goatfucker430]

+1

[@StuLenS_Gaming]

+Chrisko1492 , i see that jealousy in you 😂😂

[@StuLenS_Gaming]

Chrisko1492 nah i m talking about the jealousy for a successful man with a cool attitude . You re not such a cool man like him, that's the reason why u re talking so bad about him :3

[@axlrosea675]

yeah, he's a saint on drugs

[@udcaps]

yup, i mean who the ef hates on him

[@HzPjtvHYom4991]

Bolt is such a class act. He knows the people love him, he has a bit of an ego, but he pays his dues for it and embraces the people that love him, he doesn't snub them like so many other top athletes and stars do. Great athlete and performer

[@leretour23]

I totally agree with you, despite his unmeasurable ego Usain Bolt is approachable, sociable, loveable and caring. He doesn't trash people down, he is not arrogant towards other athletes and he delivers the merchandise. What a world athlete!

[@Frank-Ding]

I wonder what his time would have been if he hadn't slowed down at the end. Aside from that, class act. Usain Bolt is easily one of the coolest athletes in history.

[@lennartg4429]

Probably around his olympic record of 19.30. He might have even been faster than that but he didn't slow down by much so it's hard to say for sure

[@manjago1070]

+Lennart G actually bolt can decide to run of any speed that he want...he can beat his 19:19 sec 200 metres easily if he wanted to do..

[@kelechic.jemelumba9981]

+Mohd “Alfier73” Dazli I don't think so,

[@lennartg4429]

Mohd Dazli Sorry but that's just nonsense. Did you watch the olympic 200m final in Rio? He went all out and was clearly disappointed that he didn't manage to break his record and go sub 19. He just is not as fast as he once was and that's ok because age takes its toll. It's normal.

[@kelechic.jemelumba9981]

Lennart G he could have if he is as doped as gaitlin, running the fastest he has ever run at that age, come on sqqq, most athletes dope though, they just use drugs that have not being banned

[@TalkTruth796]

Just the fact bolt was attentive enough to realize he was looking at the hat while he was in the midst of preparing for a race is quality‼️

[@joef8085]

How can anyone dislike Bolt?

[@jaimesandoval1988]

Easy! Jealousy!

[@treshtalk88]

He's a bit of a show off tbf

[@ironlock3000]

GOTCHA Bolt gets the right to boast tbh

[@elizabethwai1415]

Still doesn't mean he has to...

[@houseofzuma1033]

to be fair just a tiny bit considering his talent.

[@user-cl4xl3fr3h]

Kid looks very innocent.....good memory's for him ....Lovely Bolt.............!!!

[@thunderbolt997]

[@tomw7340]

[@MP_Tennis]

[@dhnsh1843]

[@TheCountDook]

[@WomanNextDoor]

[@desid657]

You arrogant people, it is not "just a hat" Bold is currently the currently the greatest sprinter and will go down in history. it means a lot to the kid that Bolt gave his the hat. Bold will become a legend, the kid have a piece of history in his possession, dont take that away from the kid. People cherish items given by celebrities all the time, this is no different...its more than just a hat, its is s kind gesture, and it means a lot to the kid

[@todaul]

Desi G The kid should hold on to that hat. Who knows? In the years to come someone may offer him a $million for it.

[@Whoami691]

+Desi G To Usain it is just a hat, to that kid, it is a treasure memory.

[@TheInterestingInformer]

todaul He shouldn't sell it dude. He should keep it with his family and pass it down to his kids, and their kids, and theirs........

[@tribunal1287]

[@theodorev666]

he's so together isn't he? no poses or attitude whatsoever! :)

[@jonathanhart8570]

i think all top sportsmen have attitude/confidence and always strutt their stuff,psycologically worrying opposition, take muhammed ali....he wasnt the best fighter ever,,but he got into opponents heads,call it attitude,i call it confidence,,,,,and usains thunderbolt pose ,well thats not intimidating,but the fist pump he does when winning and only 10 metres from line ,,he is talkin to rest of field saying i can beat yall hands down,,,,,go back thru proper recognised champs, they all havr attitude......thats my opinion,everyones entitled to one,yours may differ.....but your wrong hahaha

Cabbie that picked us up one night during the London Summer Olympics, told us that Usain Bolt had few a fare days before, and told the cabbie to bring his kids down to Puma Yard London for autographs, because they weren't able to tickets to the Track & Field events. Bolt truly that great spirit during the games.

[@vatansalvery]

It adds much more value receiving such a great memory in front of millions in an Olympics rather than receiving it lonely. Much easier to prove it no matter how long has past.

[@kobzster06]

Usain brings such genuine joy to people around the world.

[@sakibavdibasic1317]

Oh Bless. George, I am so pleased that your Olympics experience was so good and you enjoyed your volunteering. Our Sydney 2000 Olympics, although it was 20 Years Ago, is still fresh in my mind and was one of the most incredible things I've ever experienced. The atmosphere, the athletes, the excitement, the fantastic sports and sportsmanship over the course of the Olympics was magical. The Paralympics were also fantastic and again the atmosphere and athletes were amazing.
