In now familiar fashion from the quickest man who ever lived, Usain Bolt has been taking it easy since his arrival in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday (27 July).

Staying with the rest of his team in an understated hotel close to Rio’s international airport, the sprint star has requested Jamaican food and some milk and cereal for night snacks.

Keeping it simple with some cereal and milk is in keeping with Bolt's surprisingly regular dietry habits, which have been a subject of conversation since he revealed chicken nuggets as his food of choice in Beijing 2008. 

Relentless training, endless sacrifice and yams... how the world’s top athletes are preparing for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Bolt takes it easy with team-mates at team Jamaica's training facilities...

Security has been ramped at the small hotel that will house team Jamaica until they move into the Olympic Village next Wednesday (3 August).

The hotel is close to Bolt and the rest of the sprint team’s training facility, where he was pictured yesterday with his now legendary sprint coach Glen Mills (below).
