A statue of Usain Bolt in his “To di World” pose was unveiled near those of other Jamaican icons like Bob Marley in Kingston on Sunday night.

“No words to describe how I’m feeling right now,” Bolt said at the unveiling, according to the Jamaica Gleaner. “How is this even possible? Barefoot youth from country, run up and dung, drop, buck toe, all them supp’n there. I’ve never ever, at no point, felt that I would be in this moment, as big as it is now among statues at the National Stadium where it all began.
