Even the fastest man in the world can have an off day.

Six-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt came in third overall in a 400m event at the Camperdown Classic on his home ground of Kingston, Jamaica Saturday, according to The Daily Mail.

Bolt won his own heat, but came in third overall when Olympic teammates Yohan Blake and Warren Weir posted faster times in their own heats.

According to ESPN UK, Bolt's next athletic challenge comes during NBA All-Star weekend, where he'll play in a celebrity basketball match. He might have to stick to running though, if this practice video is any indication.
