Thinking Deepa: Such a great and touching interview, not only did you transport Bolt back into those memory lanes but I and I believe all who will watch this interview. Hearing Bolt speaks about his journey through those years also took me back; basking in his victories and agonizing in his pains and disappointments. But Bolt was a true Gladiator and he brought me great joy and any time he stepped on that podium it was as if I and the whole of Jamaica, the Caribbean, and the world was standing right there with him. GOAT!

[@thinkingdeepa]

thankyou @georgesmith1155 that means so much. I'm really glad you enjoyed the interview and found it useful x

[@allisonmiller9648]

I agree with you completely. The G.O.A.T.

[@russelllevers9513]

I am from Jamaica and Usain bolt ⚡ has motivated me that to be the best in your life and you need the right persons in your life... And most importantly you need to put God first. !!! . Then sacrifice and determination and diligence. And you have to over work your enemies and your competition. To bring inspiration.

[@russelllevers9513]

He is my favorite athlete ever!!!!! I love how determine he is especially when he lost at. Athens. He is a champion in his mind then physically the best of the best!!!!

[@neikomccalla2623]

Man raised his vocabulary and education since his fame. I love that.

[@thinkingdeepa]

he is inspirational so many people

Love Usain Bolt what he did in the UK lifting everyone.

If I’m being honest Usain Bolt was one of the only reasons I didn’t go insane during my senior track season

[@thinkingdeepa]

wow thats incredible, thank you for sharing

[@prod.Radiant]

Wow. Incredible Incredible interview. Thankful for the opportunity to get to see him open up a bit. Wonderful interviewer!

[@allisonmiller9648]

This was a great interview. I love this guy even though I have never met him. His work ethics and mindset to be great and to help others. I hope to meet him one day.

[@librajinx84]

Great interview. It's wonderful that he still remains every bit as humble to this day. He's one of my favourite athletes of all time.

[@deepaparekh6166]

Thankyou so much for your feedback and yes he’s still so easygoing. Grateful for him to be my guest.

[@cccrips8771]

Hey Bolt since you retire over the years I feel your energy get low and low… I know you got a good cercle but I hope you okay… you need to meet people again and see how much people love you. You are not the past the world still need your greatness 🌌

[@cccrips8771]

@YouCannotHandleTheTruth yeah I heard about that…😞

[@cosmicwisdom999]

He needs his rest now.....let him be

[@cccrips8771]

@@cosmicwisdom999 yeah understand but there is a difference between a rest where you set some new challenges and keep take care of your self and the rest where you just let it be spend money and let the life take you where she want. ( I just share what I feel about the path he takes.. i was one of the biggest fan of Bolt. I respect the man.)

[@cosmicwisdom999]

@@cccrips8771 Let him be a father and run his businesses, he deserves to have a more laid back life now....he's not boring, just a bit more mature. Nobody wants to be hype all the days of their lives...

[@jcornwall6228]

Sadly, this world has shown me that you have to know when to exit on time , or even your fans will help to wipe off the fame they gave. I wish Messi could retire now, where he is at a high. Look at what is happening to CR7 (Ronaldo). I understand you, but I agree with others; let him chill. If he loses one charity race now, his so-called legacy is lost. Dworldwelivin..

[@thinkingdeepa]

thank you so much Mark, a high price to pay but so worth it when you achieve greatness.

[@mamotivated]

@@thinkingdeepa it would be very interesting to hear the other side of the coin. Greatness tends to be a winner only exercise. What about the other 9 people that competed against the greatest across all the races. I am sure they put in as much work to some degree and had similar drive. How do they now view their careers given they didn't beat Usain to get the gold. What does dedicating your life feel like to only ever get silver, bronze or no other medals. Would be cool for you to share their views on the path to greatness

[@thinkingdeepa]

@@mamotivated love this, thank you for taking the time to write back, you are right there are always 2 sides. In my humble opinion, it boils down to a number of things I believe, confidence, self belief, discipline, sacrifice and your circle of people..these are the recurring themes in all my interviews. Most of them including Usain, have all experienced loss at some point..but where you go from there is what makes the difference I think.
