Bolt gets another award from UWI

Jamaican triple world record holder, Usain Bolt was presented with  The University of The West Indies (UWI) Vice Chancellor's Alumni Exemplar Sports Award.

He was later inducted into the society of the Order of Jamaica (OJ)  in 2009 by the Government of Jamaica, for outstanding distinction in the field of Sports. Additionally, Bolt was also conferred with the diplomatic title ‘Ambassador-at-Large’.
