Bolt (Pablo): I’m fine and so happy Anton.

Phelps (Roger): I’m fine too, thanks.

Anton: Ok now we will start a little interview about their life and sport career.

Anton: How did you feel when you beat your own world record?

Phelps (Roger): I felt a lot of euphoria and satisfaction also I couldn't beat the record without my partners Aaron Peirsol, Eric Shanteau and David Walters as the record was in a relay race.

Bolt (Pablo): I felt happiness for my country and for all the people that was cheering me. When I beat three records in Pekin the 100m, the 200m and the relay race thanks to my Jamaica athletics team partners Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, y Asafa Powell you know.

Anton: Which Olympic Games have been most important in your life Pekin or London?

Bolt: Of course the Pekin Olympic Games was the sport competition of my life with the world records the people saying my name after that I will become a famous person.

Phelps: I’m with you Bolt the Olympic Games of Pekin changed my life with the 8 gold medals and the more other things.

Anton: What’s the typical food in your country?

Phelps: My country, the USA, is famous for the fast food but in last years the Mediterranean diet is integrating into our society.

Bolt: Ermmm… In my country it’s so difficult to find a typical food because our food is: a big part from England colonization, another part from native recipes and the other part from Africa rastafarian food.

Anton: What do you eat in a day?

Phelps: I eat a lot of fast food because that I consume an average of 8000 calories in a day. After that I swim and burnt all the calories.

Bolt: I love the native food like the ñame or the batata two tubers with a lot of energy for me.

Anton: Bolt, when did you begin to run?

Bolt: Well, I began to run with ten or eleven years but a good moment of my start is when I was twelve I was the fastest boy of my school.

Anton: And you Phelps when did you begin to swim?

Phelps: I start to swim younger than Bolt began to run. I start at seven years old in my school.

Anton: I don’t practice sport but I think that I’m in very good form.

Bolt and Phelps: Hahahahaha

Anton: What do you want to do when you retire?

Phelps: Sorry Anton, can you repeat the question please?

Anton: Yes, of course I said what do you want to do when you retire?

Phelps: I want to have more time for my family and I want to be a coach of swimming promises.

Bolt: Also I’ll want more time for my family like Phelps but I’ll like to help the poor people of my country too.

Anton: How is your relationship with your selection partners like Blake Powell or Lochte?

Bolt: It’s very good because we know since we were kids also sometimes we went out with our girlfriends to dance reggae or to have dinner in a restaurant.

Phelps: In the sport life we are good partners and have a very good relationship but in our private life we hardly ever see each other because everyone lives in a different part of the USA.

Anton: When are young did you practice a different kind of spot?

Phelps: No I didn’t because my elder sisters and I practice the swimming and I since I was a child I want to practice the swimming them. And these decision in my life produced very good results.

Bolt: I say yes when I was a young boy I played cricket and football in Kingston with my brother and his friends.

Anton: What kind of music do you like?

Bolt: It is possible that you think that is the typical but my favourite music It’s the reggae I love Bob Marley and the other Jamaican singers, it is a relaxing music and It’s very good for concentration before a race.

Phelps: I sometimes listen reggae but my favourite type of music is the dance or electronic music cause that music It’s good for dance and motivate myself too.

Anton: What do you want to do on holidays after the Olympic Games?

Phelps: aaaah… On these holidays I’d like to go to a distant country with my family to relax myself.

Bolt: After the Olympic Games I‘ll have to train a lot because in September I’ll run the Diamond League and I want to win.

Anton: Finally, Bolt, what do you think about Phelps?

Bolt: He’s a beast in the water he is like a shark very fast and determined in his actions. Also he is a very good person and for me is the best sportsman of the history.

Anton: And you Phelps what do you about Usain?

Phelps: He’s like a bullet I don’t see him when he is running is too faster for the human eye. I don’t know if in this Olympic Games I can see him.
