Jamaican Sprint Legend Usain Bolt Returns to Oslo for the First Time Since 2017, Presents Fiancée Alfred with Flowers After Her Winning Start to Diamond League Title Defense
Jamaican sprint icon Usain Bolt made a highly anticipated return to Oslo, Norway, for the first time since his retirement from athletics in 2017. The eight-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holder was in the spotlight once again—not for his speed on the track, but for a heartfelt gesture that captured the attention of fans and cameras alike.
Bolt was in Oslo to support his fiancée, sprinter Julien Alfred, who opened her Diamond League title defense with a dominant performance in the women’s 100 meters. Alfred, beaming with confidence and joy, crossed the finish line in first place, making a strong statement early in the season. Her powerful display of speed and composure underlined her status as one of the rising stars of world athletics.
As she celebrated her victory, Alfred was greeted on the track by a grinning Usain Bolt, who presented her with a bouquet of flowers in a tender and public display of support. The moment was warmly received by the crowd, many of whom stood to applaud the couple. It marked not only a personal milestone for Alfred but also a symbolic one for Bolt, who returned to the stadium not as a competitor, but as a mentor and partner.
Bolt, who retired after the 2017 World Championships in London, has largely stayed out of competitive athletics but remains an influential figure in the sport. His presence in Oslo served as a reminder of his enduring legacy and widespread popularity. He spent time meeting fans, giving interviews, and supporting fellow Jamaican athletes throughout the event.
Speaking after the race, Alfred expressed gratitude for both her performance and the support she received from Bolt. “It means a lot to have him here,” she said. “Usain knows what it takes to compete at the highest level, and having him by my side gives me confidence and motivation.”
Bolt, known for his charismatic personality and passion for the sport, praised Alfred’s performance and expressed pride in her achievements. “She ran a fantastic race. I’m just here to support her and celebrate the hard work she puts in every day,” he told reporters.
The couple’s moment on the track quickly made the rounds on social media, with fans calling it one of the most heartwarming scenes of the Diamond League season so far. It was a blend of athletic excellence and personal connection that resonated with audiences around the world.
As the Diamond League season continues, all eyes will be on Julien Alfred as she defends her title and continues to carve out her own place in track and field history—this time, with a legend cheering her on from the sidelines.
