BRUSSELS, (Reuters) – Usain Bolt is already a triple  Olympic and world champion but he will not rest until he  believes he has achieved the status of an athletics legend, the  Jamaican said yesterday.

“I’m getting to be a legend. I don’t consider myself a  legend yet,” the 23-year-old sprinter told reporters as he  prepared to race in the 200 metres at the Golden League meeting  in Brussels tomorrow.

“I think after the next Olympics and other world  championships, if I do extremely well in those I’ll consider  myself a legend. I want to be a legend, I want to make sure I  get my M3 (BMW car) and all those other fast cars.”

Last month Bolt smashed his own 100 world record when he  clocked a remarkable 9.58 seconds at the world championships in  Berlin.

The 6-foot-5 (1.95-metre) Bolt briefly tested the new  surface in Brussels and said he was hoping to set a new track  record.

“My body got a bit tired and I didn’t get much time to rest  but I am feeling much better than in Zurich (last week),” he  said.

Bolt won the 100 in 9.81 seconds in the Swiss city on Friday  but complained of tiredness after running the final leg of  Jamaica’s winning 4×100 relay.
