Usain Bolt
It's always a wake-up call to get beaten.
Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt
I know what I can do, so I never doubt myself.
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
