Usain Bolt will be featured in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games after the Game's official airlines partner All Nippon Airways "tied up the Jamaican" in a new endorsement deal, according to Tony Connelly of THE DRUM. The six-time Olympic Gold Medalist "will feature in advertising campaigns for the Japanese airline" in the lead up to the Rio 2016 Olympics and beyond. Bolt announced the deal on Twitter and provided a link to the first ad with ANA "in which he dances along to Japanese pop song for the duration of the 30 second video." The new deal adds to a "long list of sponsorships which the 29 year-old has with various brands" including Puma, Gatorade, Digicell, Regupol, Hublot, Virgin Media, Nissan, Optus and Celcom (THE DRUM, 2/18).
