Move over, Usain Bolt. Make way for Russell Burnstrum!
The student of the Challenor School gave those on hand a riveting impersonation of Bolt’s customary eccentric celebrations, seconds after storming to victory in the 100 metres at yesterday’s Special Olympics Barbados Annual National Games at the National Stadium.
He not only emulated the trademark victory pose of the world 100 metres champion but also mimicked several other of Bolt’s entertaining antics, providing thrills for the crowd.
Russell’s theatrics proved to be one of the many highlights of the day’s activities, which also featured performances from Special Olympics World Games athletes, as well as from individuals who are physically challenged.
It was a fitting way to launch activities for this the Month Of The Disabled.
