Usain Bolt, became a father for the first time and has already shown the world that he is capable of being the best dad there is.
The name Olympia certainly comes with some expectations, but in February, Bolt said he would not encourage his daughter to take on sprinting. “That’s going to be hard for my kid,” he said while in Miami. “If they want to do it, I’m fine with it. But initially, I’m going to say don’t do it, ’cause I know the pressure that will come along with it.”
Olympia is of Greek origin and means “of/from Mount Olympus”. Mount Olympus is the mythical home of the Greek Gods and is located in northeastern Greece.
Tennis champ Serena Williams also named her baby Olympia. The child with her husband Alex Ohanian was given the full name Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.
