Sprawled out on the track with a running shoe in hand, a topless Usain Bolt enjoys some well-earned rays after a tough training session.
The world's fastest man took advantage of a break in our miserable summer as the sun made a rare appearance today.
Stripped down to his shorts, he limbered up at Birmingham City University as he prepares to defend his 100m and 200m Olympic crowns.

He will be staying with the Jamaican team in the second city until Thursday when he will travel to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford for the opening ceremony.
Bolt has been sleeping in a custom-made orthopaedic bed at his training camp to ensure he does not suffer further back problems which have disrupted his preparations for the Games.





    He was also forced to withdrew from last week's Grand Prix in Monaco with a hamstring problem sustained during his defeat to compatriot and 2012 title contender, Yohan Blake, in June.
    The university have been planning for this period for five years now and have pulled out the stops to make the Jamaican team as comfortable as possible pre-Games.

    Ground to make up: Bolt (right) is beaten by fierce rival Yohan Blake (left) in the 100m at the Jamaican Olympic trials last month in a reminder that the Olympic race will not be a foregone conclusion

    And it seems their efforts to be impeccable hosts will be rewarded with some longed-for sunshine in the days to come.
    Forecasters say it is finally time to dig out the T-shirts because from tomorrow the downpours are predicted to clear and sunshine is finally on the way.
    England and Wales will at last bask in sunny and dry weather all weekend and into next week, they said.
    Temperatures will reach 26C (80F) for the start of the school holidays, and bring a welcome boost to UK seaside destinations.
