]]> Usain Bolt shared the first public photos and the unique name of his daughter, Olympia Lightning Bolt, giving a nod to sprinter’s Olympic success.

The Jamaican former sprinter shared pictures of his first child on Twitter as he wished his partner Kasi Bennett happy birthday saying they have started a new chapter together with our daughter.

“Now we have started a new chapter together with our daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt,” was posted on Bolt’s social media. “I look forward to what the future will bring for us but be reassured that I will be the ROCK for this family.”

It is the first time the couple has confirmed their daughter’s name since Bennett gave birth on May 17.

The eight-time Olympic gold medallist, who holds world record in the 100m, 200m and 400m relay, retired from athletics after the 2017 World Championships. He is the only sprinter to win the Olympic 100m and 200m titles at three consecutive games.

World Athletics has launched “Road to Tokyo”, a qualification tracking tool for next year’s Olympic Games. This tool will help athletes to view each event over the course of the qualifying period ahead of Tokyo 2020. The qualification will end on June 29, 2021. The games are scheduled to take place from July 23 to August 8, 2021.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, World Athletics had announced earlier that the qualification period (for all events) would be suspended from April 6 to November 30, 2020.

However, the qualification principles remain unchanged with athletes able to qualify through entry standards and the World Athletics World Rankings. Athletes who have already qualified in 2019 will be eligible for selection by their respective member federations and national Olympic committees, together with those athletes who will qualify within the extended qualification period.
