When Bolt met Blatter: The sprint king was at FIFA HQ on Wednesday. Photo: AP<\/p>\n

It can\u2019t always be easy having one of the most recognisable faces in sport \u2013 but that didn\u2019t appear to bother Usain Bolt earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The sprint king was chased by a throng of fans into Sunglasses Hut at Heathrow Airport as he waited to board a flight to Zurich.<\/p>\n

But instead of throwing a tantrum, the world\u2019s fastest man, who claimed three gold medals at the world athletics championships earlier this month, took a picture of the mass crowd, before tweeting \u2018love my fans\u2019.<\/p>\n

Bolt then went on to splash the cash on designer sunglasses, reportedly spending \u00a32,580 on five pairs of shades before asking security staff to buy him two watches from Harrods next door, according to The Sun.<\/p>\n

The Jamaican, 27, seemed concerned that he might be late for his trip to Switzerland<\/a>, tweeting: \u2018How am I going to get out of this store to board my flight to Zurich?\u2019<\/p>\n

But after pictures emerged of Bolt meeting football chief Sepp Blatter at FIFA headquarters on Wednesday, it appears he made his flight on time. \u2013 Mail Online<\/a><\/p>\n
