Bolt: "Nobody comes close to my records"

Not giving up is a good first step to success.

Also among athletes, for whom moving forward is a professional axiom, especially if that forward is just over nine and a half seconds away.

Champions never give up is the motto of the second edition of Marca Sport Weekend, an event that is bringing together almost a hundred sports stars worldwide over the weekend and that has the collaboration of Huawei, LaLiga, Mercedes -Benz Vans and Santander.

The sprinter has left a gap in the competition difficult to fill.

Both in the media and in sports, he was unique, he knows it and boasts of it.

"No one is in the zone to break my records, no one will be able to get close yet," unadorned, so he responded about today's speed.

He justified his answer in that his brands were - sorry, they are - "the result of a very hard work and very prolonged in time."

Bolt acknowledged that he envies the competition, but only when he sees athletes in the middle of the race, "because then I think about all the training and I don't miss it so much anymore," he joked.

He did admit that about a year and a half ago he had a conversation with his coach about a possible return to the

.

"My coach told me that I could think about it but that he knew I wasn't going to do it because I hate training."

The humor that characterizes the Jamaican was present in all his talk, also when he was invited to answer who would win a race -today- between him and

.

He would be faster than me, he would beat me, he laughed.

False modesty?

It may be, but Bolt praised the Portuguese and gave him as an example of professionalism: "He works hard every day and is a super athlete, he is always at the top of his sport."

Only Bolt would fill any day, but the first day of the Marca Sport Weekend weekend had much more.

During the morning,

The play of Casillas and Robben

.

The former Madrid captain did not rule out running again as a candidate to preside over the Federation.

"My idea was to go hand in hand with LaLiga and look for the good of football and footballers," he summarized.

The year that marks the 10th anniversary of the World Cup in South Africa -Marca Sport Weekend will bring together several of the champions to honor them-, Casillas recalled an already iconic moment in Spanish football, his stop in the final against the Dutchman

"It was a very fast move and I just thought 'but how did he appear here alone in front of me'?"

And from champion to challenger.

, who this Sunday in Valencia may be the new king of MotoGP, did not miss this sports festival and in direct connection from Valencia, where he is preparing the Grand Prix, he assured that he is not obsessed with the title: «I try to take the pressure the best possible but we do not have to do anything different to win the title, I notice that now is the time not to fail and reap the fruits.

Emilio Butragueño, Saúl Craviotto, Paula Badosa ... Marca Sport Weekend gathered yesterday more athletes than lines on the page, although not all were lectures.

On the opening day there was also time for European champion
