Usain Bolt: The Freeze ‘too quick for me’

Usain Bolt wants no part of The Freeze.

When somebody asked if the viral Atlanta Braves promotion speedster was actually Bolt in costume, the fastest man of all time chimed in to deny it in an interesting way.

“Too quick for me,” followed by two crying laughing emojis was tweeted from Bolt’s account in response to a thread that included video of The Freeze’s win in the Braves’ Opening Day “Beat the Freeze” race at SunTrust Park from NBC Sports Philadelphia.

After he went viral last season, The Freeze was identified as Nigel Talton, a sprinter whose personal-best in the 100m was 10.
