Best Sprinter Of All Time Used a Nikon To Celebrate His Gold

Usain Bolt who just won his 5th Olympic gold medal tonight decided to celebrate it in a very unique way. Instead of just running and waving to his fans like most athletes will do, he decided to celebrate by taking pictures. Right after winning the gold at the 200m race, he took a Nikon D4 from photographer Jimmy Wixtröm (Aftonbladet newspaper, Scandinavia) and just started shooting his teammates, his fans, and other photographers and members of the press. Awesome way to celebrate greatness.

Below are the images of Bolt enjoying his new toy – but make sure you check out the photos he took – great results on the track, and also outside of the track.

Are there other cameras that anyone else would really want to use? I kid, I kid! …….not really.

I think that raises some interesting copyright issues!

on the first photo it`s not d4 – but d3s… held by sprinter with nr 3 not 7! so it`s not Bolt…. i think.

funny is, that most of the cameras around the nikon are canons.
by the way great idea from nikon to do this kind of promotion!

He could stand to learn how to hold a camera….

You got me confused. The other 2 Jamaican runners had much lilghter skin tones than bolt not to mention younger… I’m sure it’s bolt, but why the 3 on the right tigh??

What a bad headline. It makes it sound like he is a Nikon representative instead of someone who just grabbed a camera.

Most of the cameras are not canon the few that are stand out due to their product design… White lens… Black lens with red stripes… Also contract with Getty images but most professional sports photographers prefer Nikons due to their super fast shutter speed… Canon were made popular by soccer moms with small hands…

Brands don’t matter to me… But it bothers me when people are all about a brand because thats what they notice that’s being used at an event

Are you seriously this dense?
It was a lighthearted joke. If you know anything about Usain, he’s a goof… so he turned the cameras back at the photogs. A little funny after an epic dash.

Is that the Nikon 14 – 24mm lens? If anyone has one can they recommend? Thanks

It is ! The 14-24 mm is the top lens on the market…
