Jamaican running superstar Usain Bolt ventured out to Mount San Antonio College in Walnut, California to talk to young athletes about tips on how to get faster, be the best they can be and have fun.Talking to a crowd of over 1000 college and high school athletes, kids, young fans and locals, the Olympic gold medalist got the crowds cheering with a few dance moves. He also talked about what types of exercises, stretches and drills he does with his coach.Bolt, who said hes not closely familiar with U.S. college sports, says he can tell the kids he worked with are hard workers.Bolt missed a chance to add another 100-meter world title when he was charged with a false start and disqualified in the final at the world championships in South Korea last month. He was his blazing self in winning the 200 in 19.40 seconds, the fourth-fastest time ever, and in anchoring Jamaicas 400-meter relay in a world-record 37.04 seconds.Hes now taking some time off, visiting Los Angeles for a few days before making his first visit to Las Vegas. He will resume training in October but wont compete indoors. The next big hurdle is the 2012 Olympic London games.
