More quotes by Usain Bolt
I wouldn't say I'm a phenomenon, just a great athlete.
Usain Bolt
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.
Usain Bolt
I don't put myself under pressure.
Usain Bolt
I stopped worrying about the start. The end is what's important.

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?
Usain Bolt
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.
Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt
My favorite thing is always wings. That is my guilty pleasure.
Usain Bolt
I actually had nuggets and mostly Asian food when I was at the Olympics. But as soon as I got back to Jamaica, or when I was in London, I had a lot of wings. That was the first thing I asked for - Hey, get me some wings.
