Fresh from setting a pair of world records,Usain Bolt is ready to go faster. The Jamaican sprinter,who took part in a ceremonial kickoff celebrating the start of the Spanish league at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium this weekend,said he can improve on his record times of 9.58s in the 100 metres and 19.19s in the 200.

I think I can go faster,but I leave that up to my coach, Bolt said. We analyse each race. We try to go through the season without risking getting injured. We see what we can do to go further and achieve great things in sport.

Bolt was in Madrid on Saturday to attend Real Madrids opening match of the season. The Jamaican said he felt nervous in front of 80,000 fans just before the match against Deportivo La Coruna,which Madrid won 3-2. He said the experience was priceless.

I remember I saw Cristiano Ronaldo’s presentation and thought it was amazing. It was the same for me yesterday, Bolt said. It was overwhelming,but I enjoyed it very much. It was beautiful.

Bolt said he gave Ronaldo some advice on how to run faster when he first met him two years ago. Normally,when he gets up speed he leans his body forward, Bolt said. I told him what to do to run longer and go faster.

However,the sprinter said he felt he could still outrun Ronaldo over 100 metres even while running with a ball at his feet.
