Usain Bolt, the six-time Olympic Gold Medalist and world's fastest man, sprints his way into Temple Run 2. The Bolt is available now as an in-app purchase for $0.99 for a limited time only.

“I am a big fan of Temple Run. I travel all over the world and travel time gives me lots of opportunity to play Temple Run at airports or on car journeys,” said Usain Bolt. “It’s exciting to see myself represented within a game I already play.” 

Usain Bolt's likeness comes outfitted with his signature yellow and green and gifted with special abilities, allowing him to boost ahead at a "record-breaking" pace, and the use of a coin magnet ability.

“This seemed like the most obvious and fitting partnership,” explained Keith Shepherd, co-founder of Imangi Studios. “Personally, we are huge Bolt fans and watched him race to gold last year in London. We cannot think of a better personality and role model to represent the game and encourage our players to keep running.”
