However, he won't pressure them into following his footsteps, instead they will be encouraged to follow their unique dreams.

The Jamaican world's fastest man in history has three beautiful kids with his partner Kassi Bennett, disclosed in a 2021 exclusive interview with People magazine the athleticism his children are already portraying.

"I'm sure they're going to be tall, I can tell. When they get their checkup, they're like, 'Wow. They're really growing. They're going to be tall.' So, I know that much, but for me, anything they want to do, I'm just going to support them," said Bolt.

"That's always a key thing: Just support your child in whatever they want to do. So if they don't want to run, if they don't want to do sports, I'm okay with it."

Bolt and his long-time partner Bennett welcomed their first child, daughter Olympia Lightning on May 17, 2020, and then twin boys Thunder and Saint Leo in June 2021.

"It would be wonderful to sit in the stands and watch any one of them just to compete," continued the proud dad that he would love to cheer them on from the stands.

"That's a high level, and even to win, it would be a dream come true. But as I said, I won't pressure. I won't pressure, but it would be a great experience as a dad, as an Olympian, to watch your kid as an Olympian, running with the Olympians."
