The capital woke up to a burst of speed, colour, and culture as Old Delhi transformed into a playground for the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt. Against the backdrop of Khari Baoli, the largest spice market in Asia, history met sporting spectacle in a way India has never witnessed before.&nbsp;For the first time ever, the heritage terrace of Delhi’s Khari Baoli transformed into a sprint track. Usain Bolt, joined by India’s Olympic heroes such as PV Sindhu, PR Sreejesh, and Animesh Kujur, turned the centuries-old rooftop, once a stage for spice trading, kite flying, and festivals, into a relay of champions. With the Red Fort looming in the distance and spices drying under the morning sun, the race stitched together culture and competition in a way never seen before.&nbsp;Commenting on the occasion, legendary athlete and Puma brand ambassador, Usain Bolt, said, "Running through the spice-scented rooftops of Old Delhi was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. To share the baton with India’s finest Olympians and fellow Puma’s like PV Sindhu, PR Sreejesh, and Animesh Kujur in such a historic setting was pure energy. This is what sport is all about, breaking boundaries, creating culture, and having fun along the way."&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-women-s-odi-world-cup-2025-all-you-need-to-know-about-indian-women-s-team-schedule-squad-fixtures-and-more-1758556378933">Women's ODI World Cup 2025: All you need to know about Indian women's team schedule, squad, fixtures and more</a>&nbsp;Karthik Balagopalan, Managing Director, Puma India, said, "At PUMA, everything begins with sport.
