London: A city council in Britain has unveiled a statue of sprinter Usain Bolt, costing £15,000 (about $23,500), but it has a fault—the model shows the world record holder in his famous pose pointing, but on the wrong side. [caption id=“attachment_383377” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]
Oops! says Bolt.

Unfazed by the criticism, the council, however, said: “Next you’ll say the face doesn’t look like him.” IANS
