At that year’s Olympics, Bolt won three gold medals and broke three world and Olympic records for the 100 meter, 200 meter, and 4×100 meter relay events.
Bolt really emerged from the Beijing Olympics.
My first days in Beijing were as peaceful as the calm before a big storm.
I also quite like walking around Asia, because the people here always make me feel loved.
Of course not everything in Asia is great.
Asian food is also a bit difficult to swallow.
At Beijing 2008, the Jamaican star won three gold medals and broke three world and Olympic records.
Every day I go to the restaurant in the Olympic Village three times.
`Forget about eating,` I reassured myself one morning.
I eat a box of 20 for lunch and another box for dinner.
There is an assumption that fast food is not allowed at the Olympics, because every athlete must eat healthy food, but that is not the case.
`Usain, stop eating fried chicken. Find some vegetables to eat. Otherwise you’ll get sick.`
I made a shy face and said: `I’m not sick…`
Brigitte grabbed me, she took me to the restaurants in the Village and asked me to eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
Food was my only worry at that Olympics, because on the track I was completely confident and healthy.
While running, I observed my opponents.
But an unexpected surprise happened in the semi-finals.
