Usain Bolt at the Olympics – level 1

24-08-2016 15:00

Usain Bolt wins the Olympic gold in three events. The third is for a 100-metre relay.

Jamaicans in Rio celebrate. Back home in Jamaica, people are very proud of him.

It is a great achievement, but it can also be his last. Bolt is going to retire next year.

Difficult words: relay (a race when runners in a team take turns), celebrate (be happy because of something good), achievement (something good that you do), retire (stop working).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
