Usain Bolt
has revealed that he stopped having sex, after he discovered that it was
affecting his performance in athletics championships.
The world’s fastest man who
spoke to Sunday Times, further revealed that he reached an agreement with his
coach on partying provided he kept winning races during his athletics days.
“In the early days, I did
try having sex before a race, just to see if it helped. It was a disaster. I
was nowhere.”
“I’m a young guy. I like to
have a good time. I can train hard, but I also need some down time. If I don’t
go out and let off steam, I go a bit crazy.
“My coach understood, and
we worked out a good system. Even though I went to parties, I was still winning
races. If I was coming last, sure, you can tell me to stop partying, but if I’m
breaking world records, you got no right to tell me what to do.”
Usain Bolt who retired last
year from athletics having broken the 100m and 200m world records and winning
eight Olympic gold medals, also talked about his relationship with Kasi
Bennett, the Jamaican model and businesswoman who he has been dating for more
than five years. According to him, they’ve discussed marriage and he’s eager to
have kids one day.
Bolt added: “I have to talk
about it, otherwise my mum starts complaining. Every time I ring home, the only
thing she wants to know is when we’re getting married and when we’re gonna have
kids.
“Me and Kasi had a serious
talk last year, after I retired, but she was just about to launch her new
business and we didn’t want the pressure of trying to deal with everything at
the same time.
“I’m pretty sure there’ll
be some news next year.
“I want to be a father and
I’m looking forward to that future. The next stage for me. I’m still a kid
myself, so I think I’ll be a cool dad.”
