RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- The world's fastest man said that he "wanted to run faster" following Thursday's 200-meter gold medal run, but his girlfriend never doubts his greatness.

Usain Bolt is dating Kasi Bennett. Obviously, she's a huge fan of her boyfriend. She has displayed that fierce fandom several times on social media during the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.

On Sunday, she corrected a tweet from the Olympics Twitter account. The tweet read: "If Usain Bolt wins tonight, he will be the first Olympian ever to win the 100m in #athletics three times in a row."

Bennett responded by saying "*when."

Bolt has posted several pictures of the beautiful Bennett on his Instagram feed. One of them earlier this year showed him shirtless with her wearing Carnival gear. He refers to her as his "First Lady."

While Bennett has been overly emphatic about Bolt's success, Bolt's mother has looked less than excited from the Rio stands. Bolt was also shown in a video kissing and dancing with Bennett during Jamaica Carnival 2016.

Bolt began the Olympics by winning the men's 100-meter event. Thursday he clocked in at 19.78 to claim the gold medal in the 200-meter event.

If Bolt wins the 4x100 meter relay Friday night, he would tie American Carl Lewis and Paavo Nurmi for the most Olympic gold medals in track and field history.
