We caught up with Mr Usain Bolt during a short break in his preparations for the Olympic Games in Rio this summer. The 29-year-old Jamaican sprinter is going for an unprecedented “threepeat”, aiming to become the first man ever to win 100m and 200m golds at three consecutive Olympics. We asked him to answer each of these quick-fire questions in 9.58 seconds or less – his world-record time for the 100m. He gave us his shiny gold Hublot watch – called Big Bang Unico Usain Bolt – with which to time him. On your marks, get set, go!
