Usain Bolt is best known for his trademark lightning bolt celebratory move. But the Jamaican sprinter showed he has a lot more in his repertoire when he videobombed BBC presenter Colin Jackson at the London 2015 Anniversary Games on Saturday.

Jackson – himself a hurdles world record holder – keeps a straight face at first, but quickly realises what Bolt is doing behind him.

“I guess Usain is doing his stuff behind me?” he said. “Yeah, he’s having his good time, he’s nice and relaxed there as normal.”

“We always like to see him in that kind of mood because that kind of shows us what kind of state he’s in – he’s ready to go.”

Bolt went on to win the men’s 100m final in a time of 9.87 seconds.
