They&#8217;re going to be tall.&#8217; So, I know that much, but for me, anything they want to do, I&#8217;m just going to support them,&#8221; the proud dad says. &#8220;That&#8217;s always a key thing: Just support your child in whatever they want to do.

The competitor wins. \u201cMe and a friend were talking about this the other day,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018should I be upset?\u2019 Because I know over the years everyone has tried to make spikes different and better but \u2026\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>Bolt stresses he is not worried about the current crop shredding his 100m world record of 9.58sec or his 200m best of 19.19sec. Yet he sounds uneasy about where the arms race in shoe technology will lead. \u201cHow can I argue if World <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/athletics\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Athletics<\/a> decide that it\u2019s legal? I can\u2019t do anything about it. The rules are the rules.

He believes people forget that, as a 16-year-old, he ran 20.13sec to finish 2003 ranked ninth in the world. But after moving to Kingston, and discovering Burger King and nightclubs, he did not always want to train. That, and a subsequent injury, meant he didn\u2019t emerge out of the heats in Athens.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>\u201cIn 2003 I was running faster than almost everybody,\u201d he says. \u201cIf I had run in the world championships that year I would have probably medalled. And if I\u2019d continued on that road, I would have run 19 seconds earlier in my career, so for sure I could have won gold in Athens if I\u2019d dedicated myself more.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>\u201cBut it was tough for me because even in high school I was famous. Everyone knew who I was in Jamaica. And I didn\u2019t have somebody who had already been through it to say: \u2018You have to take this seriously, because this is what you could do.\u2019 It was just my coach telling me to train hard.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>\u201cThat\u2019s why I try to talk to the younger athletes now and explain to them \u2018get serious early man\u2019.

But he was like, \u2018It\u2019s going to be harder than before \u2013 coming back is not going to be a cakewalk.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>\u201cWhen I look back I have no regrets.

Until now the answer has always been no. But on 13 July he will return to the track over 800m, a distance he has never run professionally, in a promotion for the US firm CarMax. The challenge, which will be streamed live on <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/usainbolt\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Bolt\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>, is lighthearted \u2013 can he do two laps of his home track in Kingston quicker than a CarMax customer receives a live <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmax.com\/usainly-fast-offers\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">online appraisal offer<\/a>, a process that typically takes under two minutes? \u2013 but he says he is taking it seriously.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>\u201cI train every day of the week. I still do a lot of cardio. And I\u2019m on my Peleton too. Now I just need to sharpen up at the track and get my lung capacity up.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>You do look in shape, I say. He laughs. \u201cI have tried to stay fit because my friends told me that when I retired I would get fat and I was like \u2018no way\u2019. So I can\u2019t let myself go when they have bet me it will happen in the next six to eight years. For me, it\u2019s a pride thing. I\u2019m not going to let them win. I\u2019m not going to give them the satisfaction.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>So how fast could he run 800m? \u201cMy personal best is around 2:05, but when I put my spikes on I reckon I can take five seconds off.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>Given he is only 34, could he yet be tempted to race properly again? \u201cNo, no, definitely not.

Even the mere mention of his name would create a wall of sound at the stadiums in Beijing, London and Rio, while his familiar burst of unanswerable speed and joy somehow always seemed to make jaws drop and smile at the same time. Bolt acknowledges that Tokyo will be a very different and difficult experience for athletes trapped in the bubble, as well as the few spectators permitted. But he believes a combination of a fast track and hot conditions will lead to spectacular performances.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>Unsurprisingly, it is the 100m and 200m that excites him the most, but his answer comes with a twist. \u201cThe women\u2019s finals will be without a doubt more interesting,\u201d he says. \u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m looking forward to the most. The women have really stepped up and they\u2019ve led the way for a few years now.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>He talks about the protagonists with a coach\u2019s eye, noting how the Jamaican favourite Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has changed her stride pattern to make herself faster and how Britain\u2019s Dina Asher-Smith looks far stronger than when she <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2019\/oct\/02\/dina-asher-smith-wins-world-200m-golg-world-athletics-championships\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">won 200m gold<\/a> at the 2019 world championships.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>\u201cDina has already proven herself to be one of top athletes in the world,\u201d Bolt says. \u201cBut she keeps pushing to be the best and to beat the best. You see she puts in the work. She has the dedication. If a conversation is happening about who is going to win Olympic gold, she\u2019s a part of it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>But when asked who he would put his money on for the 100m, he opts for his compatriot. \u201cShelly\u2011Ann has the edge because of her experience, as long as she just doesn\u2019t put too much pressure on herself. But Dina is her closest challenger.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>Before Covid struck, Bolt had intended to go to Tokyo as a fan, watching as many sports as possible \u2013 with fencing particularly on his bucket list. Instead, he will be in Kingston, watching while playing with his three children, Olympia Lightning Bolt, who turned one in May, and two-month-old twins Thunder Bolt and Saint Leo Bolt. He would love them to go into sports but says that a fourth child, which could create an unbeatable mixed 4x400m relay team, is not going to happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"maincontent\" class=\"dcr-1vmde4i\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div class=\"article-body-commercial-selector article-body-viewer-selector dcr-bjn8wh\">\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>When asked what parenthood has taught him most, Bolt instantly replies \u201cpatience\u201d. That could turn out to be good news for track and field. For while most of his current attention is on a fledgling music career, he hints he may yet have unfinished business with the sport he dominated for so long.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1b5a2hj\"><strong>\u201cIn the past my biggest problem was being patient with athletes,\u201d he says. \u201cBut when you have kids you have to be a lot more patient. That has made me think about coaching. I have sat with my coach and started picking his brain about different things \u2013 how he writes his programme and stuff like that \u2013 so you never know. Maybe in the future I will take on the challenge.
