Prince Harry beats Usain Bolt in 20 meter dash

When Usain Bolt, The World's Fastest Man, raced Britain's Prince Harry— on a track Tuesday in the Jamaican capital of Kingston— guess who won?

It's good to be third in line to the King.


It wasn't much of a race as Harry got off to a false start and was already halfway down the track before Bolt even pushed off the blocks.

Bolt, wearing bright orange track shoes, bent over in laughter as Harry— wearing the Jamaican colors of green, black and gold— chugged across the finish line with his arms raised in victory.

The Olympic medalist trotted over to the smiling Harry and they both made one of Bolts signature lightning poses.

Harry can fly when he needs to and has earned his own wings as a captain in the Army Air Corps.



The mock race pitted the Olympic sprint champion against the Royal Family member as part of the Diamond Jubilee tour in honor of Queen Elizabeth II who celebrates 60 years on the throne.

Harry seemed to be having a good time with the crowd.

"Don't go running off to America because you have a clear talent your country needs," he told a group of young Jamaican athletes as he sat besides Bolt— the country's biggest national hero.
