Usain Bolt takes Pacific holiday

Olympic great Usain Bolt has chosen to relax in French Polynesia.

The triple sprint champion from the Rio Games arrived in Tahiti at the weekend where surprised travellers and airport staff went up to him to have their picture taken with him.

The Jamaican sprinter only stayed briefly before catching a connecting flight to Bora Bora.

Bolt left a message for his fans on social media before disconnecting.
