Considered one of the greatest of all time, Usain Bolt truly is a legend of the track. His performances in 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympics are testament to the same.

Despite retiring years ago, Bolt currently holds the 100m and 200m world records. Having 8 medals in the Olympics, he bid goodbye to the track and field and shifted his focus to other ventures.

Usain Bolt thinks his daughter will be a track athlete

Although she’s still a toddler, Usain thinks his daughter, Olympia, might be a dominant track athlete in the future. Bolt says that his daughter is already showing signs of being a great track racer.

“You can see it,” said the sprinter as he continued, “She always walks on her toes, as a sprinter that’s one thing, and she runs everywhere. She wants you to chase her, so I see what’s gonna happen in the future.”?

The father of three, however, said that he’d be supportive of his children’s career choices no matter what. He proceeded to say he’d always let them know how hard it is and how much dedication it takes to be successful. But whatever they end up doing, he’d always be supportive.

Bolt, who enjoyed success throughout his career, got a taste of it rather early in his career. In 2003, he was awarded the Austin Sealy Award for his performance at the CARIFTA Games. He gave a record performance of 20.43 seconds in the 200m and 46.35seconds in the 400m events.

No doubt he’d be hoping for similar success for his daughter, who is showing early signs of being a great sprinter.
