Above, the IAFF World Championships in Berlin, Usain Bolt wins 400m relay final.
The Jamaican sprinter, who broke world records in winning gold medals in the 100 and 200 meters, was presented with the piece of Berlin wall at a small ceremony Sunday, August 23, the final day of the world track and field championships.
The 12-foot high section, painted with Bolt's likeness and Jamaican colors, will be delivered to Bolt's training camp in Jamaica.
The piece of the wall, which divided communist East Berlin from West Berlin between 1961 and 1989, is decorated with a life-size painting of Bolt running on the blue track of the Olympic stadium and the words "NEW WR" -- new world record. Bolt set a world record in the 100 at 9.58 seconds and 19.19 in the 200.
