That video of Usain Bolt stopping interview for U.S. National Anthem is old

A video of Usian Bolt cutting short an interview to hear the U.S. National Anthem is going viral. The only problem is that it's old.

The video shows Bolt being interviewed by a Spanish-language channel after a race. As the U.S. anthem begins to play, Bolt asks the interviewer if the broadcast is live. When she replies yes, he stops the interview and listens to the anthem.

A video of the incident was shared by someone named Tony V, who is apparently a radio personality in Denver, on Facebook, and has gone wild. More than 505,000 people have liked it, another 495,000 have shared it and more than 33,000 have commented on it -- most in the last few days.

The peculiar thing is that the video was apparently shot in 2012, although some media outlets have yet to figure that out.

The first clue? Tony V posted the video 11 months ago.

The second clue? The track behind Bolt is red. At Rio, the track is blue (Why? Funny you should ask. Here's the answer.)

Still, it's a classy act by the world's fastest man, and it's worth a look:
