He Jamaican athlete Usaint Bolta nine-time Olympic gold medalist, told EFE during a visit to Mexico City that he doesn’t expect to improve his records anytime soon, but stressed that it will come at some point.

A resume full of notes
From 2008 to 2016, Bolt broke all possible marks in the Olympic Gamesincluding himself, who has won nine gold medals since Beijing in 2008, up to Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
He holds the Olympic records of 100 meters (9.63 seconds), 200 (19.30) and the 4×100 relay (37.10) with the Jamaican team, and won 11 gold medals in 2009 Berlin World Cups, Daegu (South Korea) 2011, Moscow 2013 and Beijing 2015.
In these participations he established world records for the hectometer (9.58 seconds), the 200 meters (19.19) and the 4×100 relay (37.04).
the fastest man
For these feats, Bolt is considered the fastest man on Earth, as well as the greatest sprinter of all time, which led him to carry the acronym “GOAT (Greatest Of All Time; the greatest of all time)”.
“I enjoy this title (the fastest man in the world). So it’s a wonderful feeling, very good. I am the fastest person and I can beat them all,” he said.
The athlete and also an actor refused to be a born talent and assured that his achievements, records and achievements are due to his determination.
In this spirit, he encouraged future generations to have the necessary dedication to achieve their goals and face any adversity around them.
“I’m just determined. Dedicate yourself to your job and I understand that it is not easy to be, you just have to have determination and push no matter what is happening,” he said.
The necessary support for athletes
Bolt also spoke about the Mexican scenario, where, due to insufficient official support, athletes have to take resources to finance their trips to competitions and even the salaries of their coaches and other necessary staff in their team.
The former Olympic champion said that the role of the private sector is very important which he considered good for the development of the country.
He said that the support of the government is needed, so he mentioned that there should be more pressure on the Mexican athletics federation to promote the financing of the athletes, while other actors can support the solvency of the athletes.
sport and technology
Amidst his recent appointment as Chief Sprint Officer of Mexican provider of Information Technology and cloud services, KioBolt asserted that the private sector can be a way to bring people closer to sports.
In his new role, he pointed out that his main mission is to help spread knowledge as quickly as possible.
