Jamaica's eight-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement award at BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

Bolt is the fastest sprinter in history and retired in 2017 as a 19-time global champion.

He was crowned Olympic 100m and 200m champion at three successive Games - Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016.

Bolt says he is living proof that if you work hard, you can get anything you want.

He still holds the world record 100m time of 9.58 seconds at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.

He also still holds the 200m world record of 19.19 seconds, which he set four days after his 100m record in Berlin, with those successes the first of 11 golds across four World Championships.
