Run away from Usain? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolt

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'run away' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from usain?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'blt' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "Fasten shut; run away" , "Rush away - fastening bar" , "playwright" , "Fasten - run off - Jamaican sprinter" , "Leave suddenly and in a hurry" .)
