Bolt is one of the most greatest sprinters, considering his unbeaten streak of consecutively winning the 100m and 200m races in his last three Olympic appearances. Along with this, the Jamaican also solidified his legacy in the sport by setting the world record in the 100m and 200m, which has still not been surpassed.

His 100m world record stands at 9.58s and his 200m world record stands at 19.19s. The sprinter has won a total of eight gold medals at the Olympics, while at the World Championships, he has a tally of 11 gold medals, two silver medals, and one bronze medal.

Usain Bolt made his feelings known about his biggest inspiration

Usain Bolt recently made an appearance in the 'Go Wild Podcast,' where he opened up about his biggest inspiration.

"My dad, my dad really inspired me. My dad was always that person who said, 'Oh you need to work hard, you need to work hard.' People always tell you this. But I saw it with my own two eyes," Usain Bolt said. [27:55 onwards]

He added:

"He just didn't say it and didn't do it. He was that person who would work hard to get something, and he would always work hard to make sure we got everything we needed, not want. That's one thing he always says."
