USAIN BOLT has won everything there is to win as an Olympic sprinter.
But the fastest man in the world is switching sports to take part in the Soccer Aid.
Who is Usain Bolt and what is his net worth?
Usain Bolt was born on August 21 1986 in Sherwood Content, Jamaica – making him 32 years old.
He is known as a 100 metre and 200 metre sprinter and also runs the relay for Jamaica.
He holds the world record for both the 100 metres, at 9.58 seconds, and 200, 19.19 seconds.
He has amassed a substantial fortune throughout his career, with Forbes estimating his net worth at around £26m in 2018.
Bolt retired after the 2017 World Championships but most deals have continued into his retirement.
He is believed to take home over £23m per year in endorsements, with his £7.75m deal with Puma being the largest.
How many gold medals has Usain Bolt won in his career?
In 2016, Bolt believed he had become the first man ever to win the triple-triple, after victories in the 100m, 200m and 4 x 100m relay in Rio 2016, London 2012 and Beijing 2008.
But Bolt was last year stripped of his 4 x 100m relay medal from Beijing after team-mate Nesta Carter was found guilty of doping.
That means that Bolt has eight Olympic gold medals to his name.
Bolt also has 11 World Championship golds.
He was a triple gold medallist in the 100 metres after being disqualified in 2011 for false starting, and a quadruple 200 metre champ, winning in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015.
He also has four 4 x 100 relay golds.
Bolt failed to win any golds as he hung up his spikes at the London 2017 World Champs.
He finished third in the 100 metres behind Justin Gatlin and Christian Coleman.
Bolt also won gold in the relay for Jamaica at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
So that brings his total of gold medals to 20.
What has he done since retiring from sprinting?
Bolt has always had a passion for football, previously wanting to play for Manchester United.
In 2018, he started training with Norwegian outfit Stromsgodset – later going on trial at Central Coast Mariners in Australia.
He netted twice in a friendly, leading Maltese side Valletta to offer him a two-year contract.
Bolt turned them down, signing a deal with the Mariners – but only lasted eight weeks and later said his sports career was over.
