He would have been just another cricketer or footballer...had he not taken up Track & Field!
His cricket coach encouraged him to take up sprinting...
The first sport to interest him was cricket and he said if he was not a sprinter he would be a fast bowler instead. As a child he was a supporter of Pakistan and admired the bowling of Waqar Younis.
He is also a fan of Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, West Indian opener Chris Gayle and Australian opener Matthew Hayden.
Bolt has also expressed his love for football and is a fan of Manchester United. Following a race in Manchester, he met the team at their training ground and offered Portuguese national Cristiano Ronaldo some sprinting advice.

Amazing Bolt.
Will take a long time for another mortal to break this record except Usain.
Thumbs up Usain Bolt, world's fastest man.
just amazing...he was way ahead than others...
if a person is No.1 in the world, I wonder what motivates him to break his own record??
Amzing record
Ans he is the best thing to have happened to track and field athletics in a long long long time. I just hope he isn't a drug cheat as well...
He really is something else and I nice guy to boot I understand...
That's not quite true. The "world record" was achieved using prohibited dopes!!
they have the Grand PRIX in Doha ... a world record was 'supposedly' broken in early 2006.... but a faulty Tissot time was to be blamed for the fiasco...
Shame he was so tired!
Reckon he'll go under 19 seconds?
On a similar subject, do they hold Grand Prix Athletics out in Doha? If so, what and when? Something else for me to look forward to!
Only 19.19! I expected something under 19 seconds. (Seriously, what a guy!!)
Absolutely amazing... What an athlete..
I am dreading waking up and reading headlines relating to performance enhancing drugs ....
