The world’s fastest man has been forced to slow down.

Usain Bolt, the eight-time Olympic gold medalist, ruptured his Achilles in during a soccer charity match on Sunday.

“Raptured Achilles,” Bolt posted on X following the game, “but done know we a warrior 💪🏿.”

Bolt also a posted a photo of himself sitting inside the locker room holding crutches and his right foot can be seen in a boot.

The dynamo represented the Soccer Aid World XI team as captain and center-back, facing England, which had many prolific footballing legends, including Jill Scott, Joe Cole and Jermain Defoe.

Everything was seemingly well until the second half ensued.

England saw a blistering attack, during which Defoe danced through Soccer Aid World’s defensive third.

As his mastery carried him to his opponent’s backline, Bolt could be seen reaching down for his ankle.

At first glance, it seemed as if Bolt had rolled his ankle. That was until medics arrived, carrying Bolt off the pitch.

It was quickly turned into an alarming scene but Bolt seemed to be in good spirits, clapping as he was carried from the pitch.

Due to the injury, Bolt is expected to be out of commission for several months.

The incident spread like wildfire across media platforms with the name of one of the most accomplished athletes in the world that has also significantly impacted aspiring athletes.

At the 2008 Olympic Games – held in Beijing – Bolt won the 100 meter, 200 meter and 4×100 meter relay, all in a single Olympics.

He became the first to set world records in all three events: 9.69, 19.30 and 37.10 seconds, respectively.

Bolt is also currently the only sprinter to have won the Olympic 100m and 200m races at three consecutive Olympic Games (2008, 2012, and 2016).

He retired in 2017.

Bolt is also an avid soccer lover and is quite good at it.

An old X post revealed Bolt training with Borussia Dortmund, a powerhouse team in the Bundesliga.
