Usain Bolt
Usain St. Leo Bolt, OJ, CD, is a Jamaican sprinter. Regarded as the fastest person ever timed, he is the first man to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time measurements became mandatory in 1977. Along with his teammates, he also set the world record in the 4×100 metres relay. He is the reigning Olympic champion in these three events, and the first man at the modern Olympic Games to win six gold...

I'd like to say to all my fans out there, thanks for the support. And to all my doubters, thank you very much because you guys have also pushed me.
All I have to do is to work on transition and technique.
I like to have fun, just stay relaxed.
Since they came in with the selfie, it's the worst thing. You hardly ever get asked for autographs any more. It's always selfies.
I can't watch a [Floyd] Mayweather fight. I don't find it exciting. I used to watch boxing in the [Michael] Tyson era when it was exciting. Now it's all bob and weave, a punch here and there. It is not entertaining.
But anybody who steps into the lane beside you is the biggest competition because they made it to the finals.
Surprisingly, maybe the place I get recognised the least is the United States. America is not so big on track and field. Some recognise me there but lots don't.
In Jamaica, you learn as a child how to roll a joint. Everyone here has tried it. I did too
I had thought that I would stop in 2017, but my coach has told me to stop saying that as I may continue into 2018. I'm not thinking about it at the moment.
When I played football, I liked being a goalkeeper or a midfielder. I was probably better at cricket. I would be a very good cricketer if I was a professional now. I think I would probably have been the best, in fact.
I think my acceleration is very good. That's the key for me.
Once a year I will clean my room, just because I feel I should.
Repeating is harder than anything else.
Women always find you out when you lie. Always. No matter what, they always find out. They're like detectives.
