On the eve of the Rio 2016 Olympics, Megan Edwards reminds the world's fastest man what he missed out on four years ago.
The 100m and 200m legend started an unlikely relationship in 2012 with the office worker from Dartford, Kent.
Bolt, now 29, even flew her to Jamaica to meet his family.
But when Megan, a part-time 800m runner, returned to the UK she decided a long distance relationship was not for her and ended it.
Now 26, she has stripped off for a freelance photographer as Bolt
bids to win the 'triple triple' - the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay in his
third successive Games.
The photographs are part of a series of naked pictures of amateur and former professional athletes.
Photographer
Stephen Douglas Rasmussen, from Canada, decided to combine his two
lifelong passions - sport and photography - during the 18-hour shoot.
The
series, called The Bottom Line, involved a number of athletes and
models signed to agency W Athletic, in different poses and with
equipment relevant to their sport.
Stephen, 44, said: "Choosing a minimalist approach, I wanted to see clearly how sport changes and attracted certain body types.
"The
single added element, that being a piece of equipment, allowed me to
communicate their sport while making the series more modern.
"The Bottom Line was about the essentials of sport, both from equipment and also body size and shape."
The series of pictures, which were photographed in a day, are released
just 48 hours before the the Olympic opening ceremony, with the Games
taking place from Friday August 5 until August 21, in Rio.
