Jamaican Canadian Association’s Late Night With Usain Bolt

On June 9, 2009, Usain Bolt, world’s fastest human being, passed through Toronto, Canada, to attend a reception in his honor, dubbed Late Night With Usain. This event was hosted by the Jamaican Canadian Association. Videos of Bolt’s world record races, from the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, were played to an audience who watched in awe and behaved like they were seeing the races for the very first time. Bolt arrived to a heroes welcome. He later showed off his dancing skills, by demonstrating the ‘gully creeper’ (dance). Bolt was then asked to be one of the judges in a three-judge panel for a gully creeper dance contest, with contestants coming from the audience. It was an awesome event.

Special thanks to Marcia Dunkley, Toronto, Canada, who reported on this story and provided the photographs.
