Athletics: Bolt overwhelmed by unveiling of statue where it all began


KINGSTON (Reuters) - Multiple Olympic and world champion Usain Bolt has described the unveiling of his statue in front of Kingston's National Stadium as one of the greatest moments of his career. The statue, commissioned by the Jamaican government and revealed by Prime Minister Andrew Holness, stands in front of the place where 15 years ago Bolt won the junior championships to announce himself to the world. "For me this is up there, it can't be doubted that this is one of the greatest moments in my career," Bolt told Reuters after the unveiling on Sunday. "Having a statue in the National Stadium where it all began; there are no words, I am just happy and really excited about this." I'm just focusing on which direction I want my career to go," he said.
