Jamaican sprinting legend Usain Bolt has revealed which fan request he hates the most.

Bolt, 38, is still one of the most famous athletes in the world despite retiring from the sport in 2017.

In total, the Jamaican won eight Olympic gold medals, 11 World Championships golds and is still the world record holder in the 100m and 200m events.

Being one of the most famous people on the planet, Bolt is no stranger to encountering fans when out and about.

However, speaking last year, Bolt revealed that he finds it annoying with adult fans ask him for a race.

Speaking while appearing on the red carpet at the GQ Men of the Year awards, Bolt said: "When adults do it. I’m okay with kids. But when adults do it…"

Interviewer Amelia Dimoldenberg then replied: "It's just, like, not necessary," prompting Bolt to agree.

The 38-year-old was then asked about the need of having an ordinary person run in the 100m final in order to provide context.

Botl said: "No, I feel, I feel it’s necessary. Because a lot of, I think a lot of ordinary people always talk like, ‘I think I can do that'."

During the award ceremony, Bolt took the mic and spoke about two of England's best young footballers - Chelsea's Cole Palmer and Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo.

He said: "I have the honour talking about these two wonderful young men, great talent — two lads born in Greater Manchester.

"Both nominated for Premier League Young Player of the Season. One of them won it, the other scored the winning goal in the FA Cup."

The Jamaican continued: "How many reach the final of a major tournament? What they [have already achieved] in their career is incredible.
