The three-time 100m Olympic champion revealed in an interview how at one time he used his speed for naughty purposes.
Ever wondered what Usain Bolt does with his speed?
Sure, he wins lots of races. Yes, he breaks world records, wins multiple Olympics 100m titles and repeatedly confirms that he is the most astonishing, remarkable, brilliant athlete who has ever lived.
In an interview from 2012, Bolt was asked to name the time he has had to run fastest… in real, normal, day-to-day life.
After some consideration, the world's quickest man recalls a time he was in a taxi with some fellow athletes – when they decided to jump out and do a runner which he won jokingly leaving his fellow opponents far much behind.
Needless to say, the scenario ended with world's most famous sprinter running away from an irate cab driver who was also running after the cheeky athletes who had not paid their taxi fare.
