Usain Bolt recreates his iconic 2011 Daegu pose, sharing a powerful one-word caption celebrating his sprinting legacy.

The fastest man alive Usain Bolt has once again reminded the world of his legendary sprinting legacy.

The Jamaican icon on Monday recreated his iconic victory pose from the 2011 World Championships in Daegu where he won gold in the 200m final with a lightning-fast time of 19.40 seconds.

Bolt shared the image on Instagram showing him striking the same celebratory pose, dressed in an orange tracksuit, standing proudly in front of a backdrop featuring the original moment from 2011.

Alongside the photo, Bolt delivered a powerful message with a single word that perfectly summed up the moment.“WINNINGS.”

The post has since gone viral, stirring up memories of Bolt’s career and unmatched achievements on the track.

That night in Daegu, Bolt surged past his competitors — Walter Dix and Christophe Lemaitre — to claim the 200m world title in style.

The performance sent a statement of redemption after being disqualified from the 100m final earlier in the same championships due to a false start.

Despite that rare setback in the 100m, Bolt’s response in the 200m showed the mindset of a true champion — focused, fearless, and unfazed by pressure.

Bolt’s legacy spans three Olympic Games, starting from his debut at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Although he did not medal in Athens, Bolt returned stronger in Beijing 2008, where he won gold in the 100m and 200m and shattered world records. He defended both titles in London 2012 and Rio 2016, and added a 4x100m relay gold to his collection in 2012.

Bolt has eight Olympic golds and 13 World Championship medals thus is widely regarded as the greatest sprinter of all time.
