Usain Bolt is offering prizes to athletes who pose like him on the podium.

In a 40-second video posted on Twitter, Bolt expressed admiration for all the athletes preparing to compete in the Winter Olympics starting on Thursday.

“First of all, I could not do the snow, the wind, the cold, I could not do that,” says the Jamaican-born sprinter, who has collected eight gold medals in the summer Olympics.

Bolt offers an extra incentive for athletes to win in Pyeongchang, saying: “Anybody that gets to the top of the podium, and tags me on social media doing my pose, I personally will get you one of these.”

He then gestures to a magnum of GH Mumm champagne.

Bolt became the “Chief Entertainment Officer” for GH Mumm in November 2016.
