- description: Usain Bolt stopped the interview to hear the U S anthem, Bolt was doing a live interview for Television Espanola on the side of the track back in 2012 when the National Anthem began to play. Bolt asked if the interview was live, and the reporter indicated it was. Regardless, Bolt elected to halt the interview to turn and listen to the anthem be played before continuing. When the anthem was over Bolt apologized for stopping the interview and then answered the reporter's final question. A video of Usian Bolt cutting short an interview to hear the U.S. National Anthem is going viral. The only problem is that it's old. The video shows Bolt being interviewed by a Spanish-language channel after a race. As the U.S. anthem begins to play, Bolt asks the interviewer if the broadcast is live. When she replies yes, he stops the interview and listens to the anthem. Jamaican gold medal sprinter Usain Bolt interrupted a post-race interview on Sunda with a Mexican reporter to listen to the US National Anthem. He had just won his second consecutive gold medal in the 100-meter dash, defending the title “fastest man in the world” against numerous challengers, some of them Americans. And while Bolt was talking to the press, the American national anthem began to play for another event. He interrupted his interview on the spot, and turned to face the flag — explaining only “the anthem is playing.” Bolt finished his 100-meter dash in Rio in just 9.80 seconds, becoming the first man in history to win gold in the 100-meter in three consecutive Olympics.
