Usain Bolt is used to sprinting all over the world, but he has never done so without gravity - until now.

Appearing in Vatry, France, Bolt sprinted in zero-gravity in the back of an aeroplane normally used for scientific research.

As well as showing off his athletic prowess, Bolt sipped champagne with French astronaut Jean-Francois Clervoy and designer Octave de Gaulle.

The eight-time Olympic champion is currently pursuing his aim of becoming a professional footballer following his retirement from athletics.
