'You might be ready for a re-run!' Prince Harry sends cheeky birthday tweet to Usain Bolt
PRINCE Harry sent a personal birthday message to Usain Bolt - and cheekily challenged the world’s fastest man to a another running race.
Prince Harry sent Usain Bolt personal birthday message on Twitter
The Prince tweeted Bolt congratulating him on completing an historic “triple triple” at Rio 2016 - by winning three gold medals for the third Games running.
He wished Bolt a happy 30th birthday - but could not help teasing the greatest sprinter of all time.
Harry, 31, posted a photo of himself racing ahead of the superstar athlete in 2012 - when he jumped the starting gun to beat him in a sprint during a visit to Kingston, Jamaica.
The Prince wrote: “Congratulations @usainbolt - now you’re officially the greatest you might be ready for a re-run!.”
Finishing it with a winking emoji, he added: “Happy 30th” and signed off the message “H”.
Bolt turned 30 on Sunday after another sensational Games in Rio - winning the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4x100 metres titles.

The legendary athlete and the party-loving Prince seem to have plenty in common.
Bolt celebrated his landmark birthday and Olympic success in style - partying until the early hours on Sunday in a Rio nightclub.
At one point the flamboyant runner took to the stage at the De Bracos Albertas club - grabbing a microphone to address the delighted crowd and performing a turn as a DJ.
A topless Bolt later appeared in photos cuddling up to Brazilian student Jady Duarte, 20.

The pictures were shared by the Brazilian student on WhatsApp and later appeared on several news websites in Brazil.
Jady told later how she was “dying of shame” after her pictures went viral.
But she went on to add: “It was no big deal. It was normal.”
