Usain Bolt Digs Grave Of His Olympic Medallist Friend, Germaine Mason & It’s Touching

Usain Bolt has been filmed digging the grave of Team GB Olympic silver medallist Germaine Mason. The world-record holder was friends with Mason, who died after a motorbike accident in his native Jamaica.

Bolt, who was part of the convoy and one of the first people on the scene, helped bury Mason on 21 May. The pair had been friends since 2002 and appeared in many photographs together.

Mason won silver in the high jump at the Beijing Games in 2008. He grew up in the Caribbean before emigrating to the UK and switching allegiances to Team GB in 2006.
