Bolt, dressed in a stylish suit, struck a pose with five local youngsters in athletic wear and received a roar of applause from the crowd.\n\nHublot, with which Bolt has signed an endorsement deal to represent its brand, opened a new store last month in Kyoto's Gion district famous for geisha culture.\n\nThe 31-year-old multiple world record holder and gold medal winner said he gave his all in competitive sprinting and that he would like to try something new from now on.\n\nAmong his record shattering performances, Bolt set world records in the 100 meters and 200 meters, clocking 9.58 seconds and 19.19 seconds,respectively, in Berlin in 2009."}
