If you're the Olympic champion then they have to wait four more years to get you again.

I have learned that if this is what I am going to do, and do it well, then I have to avoid drinking.

I've learned over the years that if you start thinking about the race, it stresses you out a little bit. I just try to relax and think about video games, what I'm gonna do after the race, what I'm gonna do just to chill. Stuff like that to relax a little before the race.

One of the things we're trying to do more of is not just take money from corporate partnerships, but get more involved in the business side for when I retire. So Puma are going to make me an ambassador for life. I have a clothing line coming out. I am investing a lot in housing in Jamaica, buildings for rent.

Each training session I'm getting better and better. I have no other duties now, no worries, it's all about training, eating and sleeping. I have a lot more time and can put a lot more effort into training. I'm feeling better every day. As long as I'm feeling myself I'm definitely in no doubt I can go to the Olympics and win.

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 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.

Cristiano is better than Messi, without a doubt. He's more of an all-round player

But if I keep my core and back strong, the scoliosis doesn't really bother me.

When people contact me on Instagram or Facebook, kids and adults, who say, You're an inspiration. You make me want to work hard to achieve my goals. If I can still do that after I retire that makes me feel good.

I leaned too early. I was running, I looked across, I realised I was going to win - the thought I was on for a world record entered my mind - I reached for the line when I should have stayed straight.

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.

Messi or Cristiano - Speed? Cristiano. Shot? Cristiano. Dribbling? Messi. Intelligence? Messi. Talent? Messi. Winner is Messi!

I really want to try soccer after I retire because I've watched football over the years and I think I could be a good contender.

I have to show who I am, play with the crowd, play with the camera. When people come to a race, part of it is the anticipation, What is he going to do?

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.

I just imagine all the other runners are big spiders, and then I get super scared.

I told you all I was going to be No. 1, and I did just that.

My favorite thing is always wings. That is my guilty pleasure.
