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...

For me, time is everything, because from the time you wake up you have to have your heart and soul in this. You have to work through the day, you have to go to the gym, you have to eat, and yet you have to work as fast as possible to get home and get rest before the next day begins again.
There are so many Jamaican people here in London, it's going to be like being at home for me.
I really don't have a favorite meal. I eat anything.
For me he (Tendulkar) is one of the greatest cricketers
Track and field was very big when I was growing up.
Sleep is extremely important to me - I need to rest and recover in order for the training I do to be absorbed by my body
It was not perfect but I'm very happy. It could have been better, but I'm now looking forward to my second race of the season.
I have to move on now as there is no point to dwell on the past. I have a few days to refocus and get ready for the 200 meters on Friday. After this I have the 4×100-meter and a few other races before the end of the season.
If you're the Olympic champion then they have to wait four more years to get you again.
My coach told me if I broke the national record for the 200, I could run a 100.
There are things that bother me. I try not to let them, but they do.
People always say I'm a legend, but I'm not. Not until I've defended my Olympic titles. That's when I've decided I'll be a legend.
My relationship with everyone in Jamaica is good.
I want to stay involved in athletics; I want to encourage kids to take part and try to grow the sport.
