Four years after Prince Harry jumped the gun to beat Usain Bolt in a mock race, he says the Jamaican sprinter is now “ready for a re-run.”
Harry tweeted his challenge to the world’s fastest man on Monday, alongside birthday wishes.
Congratulations @usainbolt - now you're officially the greatest you might be ready for a re-run! �� Happy 30th -H. pic.twitter.com/Wa0yOZMDc2

Bolt pretended to race Harry in 2012 while the prince was visiting Jamaica.
The showdown happened on a track at the University of the West Indies in Kingston. The two men lined up, got ready and… the prince took an early start.
“He cheated,” Bolt told the BBC at the time. “I said we would have a rematch in London 2012 and Harry said, ‘I’m busy.’”
Bolt may now get his chance at redemption.
Let's do it. Respect for the bday wishes https://t.co/HS6wGKrD86
