‘I am so embarrassed’: Gabby Thomas apologises for Usain Bolt photo blunder

Olympic champion Gabrielle “Gabby” Thomas has apologised after failing to recognise Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt from his baby photo during a game featured on the Olympics’ social media platforms.

Thomas addressed the incident in a series of posts on X after facing criticism online for not identifying Bolt and laughing during the exchange.

“I want to genuinely apologise to everyone I upset for not recognising Usain Bolt in his baby photo the other day on the Olympics social media video. I shouldn’t have laughed about it either. I am so embarrassed. I promise to unpack this and will do better,” Thomas said.
