The world's fastest man has put his foot in it again - and Donegal is delighted!

Just days ago Usain Bolt made Raphoe woman Grainne O'Dea the happiest woman in the world when he gave her his 200m winning spikes.

Grainne, who works with Usain's Pace Management, was left speechless by the gesture at the World Championships in Beijing.

And now he has done it again.

This time around Usain, through his manager Ricky Simms, has donated his priceless room winning running spikes to the Finn Valley club.

Irish athletics coach Patsy McGonagle revealed the signed shoes (pictured) will now be put on display at the famous Finn Valley centre for all to see.

Patsy says the gesture was typical of Milford man Simms, himself a former Finn Valley athlete who has never forgotten his roots.

"In language we use here at home, Ricky has never forgotten where he came from. Thank you on behalf of your fellow members at #Fvac it's an honour to showcase these spikes," he said.
