The 2016 Rio Olympics is two weeks away, and sports brand Puma is backing its ambassador Usain Bolt with the launch of "Boltmoji."

"Boltmoji" is an emoji keyboard featuring the Jamaican sprinter, who's regarded as the fastest man in the world, which resulted in his "Lightning Bolt" nickname.

The app, which can be downloaded on both Apple and Google Play app stores starting Friday, has a total of 41 emoji.

They range from Bolt crying with laughter to Puma running shoes and Bolt slogans. But our faves are, without a doubt, the ones of Bolt in his signature "To Di World" pose.

Bolt's victory pose is also known as bolting, and involves him pointing both index fingers toward the sky with one arm cocked and the other outstretched.

According to Know Your Meme, Bolt debuted the pose in 2008 during the Beijing Olympics. But it got crazy-popular in 2012 after a photo of Bolt and Prince Harry "bolting" went viral.
