Usain Bolt explains the standout characteristics his daughter possesses.

Eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt has opened up about the behaviours of his children as he treasures fatherhood.

Having retired in 2017, Bolt is now a family man with a four-year-old girl, Olympia, and three-year-old twin boys Thunder and Saint Leo with his long-time partner Kasi Bennett.

Bolt, the greatest sprinter of all time who holds 100m and 200m world records for 16 years now, admits he is a “strict” parent like his father.

"My daughter is actually cooler than my sons. She’s chill and she’s rough. She’s got tomboy energy, she climbs anything,” Bolt told Olympics.com.

Bolt spoke at length on a range of subjects on The Fix podcast earlier this month, and revealed that he felt he could have broken his Berlin mark in 2011.

While that season is best remembered for Bolt's false start in the 100m final of the Daegu World Championships, with teammate Yohan Blake taking gold, the eight-time Olympic gold medallist had only raced sporadically that season due to a number of injuries.

“If I hadn’t got injured in the season, I would have broken the record again,” he insisted. “That year, I was floating. I was running very well and the coach was excited. It was the first time I heard him say we were going to race and break the world record.”

Bolt boasts of 11 world championship titles and is the most successful athlete in 100m.  Bolt recently revealed the compatriot Oblique Seville could break his 100m record.
