Usain Bolt, arguably the fastest man in the world, was joined onstage by an electrifying group of sexy samba dancers at his Olympic press conference Monday in Rio de Janeiro. “I always try to do my best here, it’s what I do and I look forward to it”, said Bolt.

“I’ve got to prove myself over and over again”.
Bolt said he has been teased by fellow Jamaican runner Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce that she might beat him to securing a third Olympic 100m title in Rio. Well at a press conference earlier today, Bolt announced that this would be his final Olympics.
Usain Bolt has told people to “have faith” in athletics, but says he can not be sure if his Olympic sprint rivals are drug-free. For now though his mind is on possibly one day going under 19 seconds in the 200m. I just want to push the barriers and see what I can do and how far I can go.
Bolt holds the world record of 9.58 seconds in the 100 and helped set the 36.84-second record in the 4×100 relay.
“I stopped just for a few minutes to watch the final. seeing someone going at such a distance, and how quick he was moving. that´s something that sticks out for me, ” told Murray.
The evening with Bolt also included his now-immortalized To The World pose, a few serious questions about racing and doping, along with one reporter who said he had no question, but pronounced: I really love you, man, then poetry slammed the following: I hope you win. “First of all, you got to clap louder than that”, he joked.
UB: “For me, time is everything, because from the time you wake up you have to have your heart and soul in this”. We quickly realised we’d been lucky enough to get Bolt’s heat, and I couldn’t believe it when I saw Bolt was in my lane. “I just go out there and compete”, Bolt was quoted as saying by Sky Sports when asked whether he could be certain of a drug-free sprint contest on Monday.
Many previous record holders won the title of “World’s Fastest Man” and broke their previous mark, but Bolt is the only one to do so twice. I must say, we’re weeding out the bad ones. I always focus on all the other lanes. However, the sprinter also noted that in life “nothing is guaranteed” so there is still a possibility that there may be some athletes out there who are still under the influence of illegal drugs or game-enhancer medicines.
He has long said hed like to take the record, which stood at 19.32 for 12 years before he first broke it at the Beijing Olympics, into the 18-second range.
He added: “I really want it, I really, really want that one”.
“I go out there to compete and wow the crowd and entertain”.

The evening started when Bolt, wearing a white cap back to front, stepped on to the stage, only to nearly immediately stop and walk backwards into the darkness again.
