I respect my competitors, you know, I get respect back from them. I respect people out there who pay for their tickets to come watch us compete. And I respect the reporters because they’ve got to come out here and tell a good story. That’s what it is. It’s just a cycle of respect.

A lot of people over the last couple of seasons have fallen prey to the unstoppable force Usain Bolt brings to the table. And they just become subdued. That’s not who I am. I’m not going to allow myself to become a subdued character.

After this coronavirus thing, people started calling me half-corona on Twitter.

There are some people who the same things happen to them again and again. They never learn.
Jwala Gutta (QID920726)
So when people used to call me ‘chinki’ I thought that okay maybe my mother is Chinese so they are calling me that.
