Intro:
Usain Bolt takes some time off training to try samba dancing and 'footvolley' with children from a Rio favela in Brazil. The children are part of a sport project to keep schools active.
Script:
Usain Bolt swapped his spikes for dance shoes as he danced with children from a Rio de Janeiro favela.
The children are part of a sport project to keep schools active and they performed a jig whilst simulating the movements of badminton.
The world's fastest man was then presented with a cake before his 28th birthday on Thursday.
The Manchester United fan ended the day by taking part in a 'footvolley' match on Copacabana beach.
Bolt was in Brazil for the Mano a Mano 100m sprint, which he won in a time of 10.06 in his first individual race this year. Bolt missed nine weeks of training after surgery on his left foot in March and only ran in the 4x100m relay at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow at the beginning of August.
Meanwhile, the Olympic champion confirmed he has delayed his retirement after his sponsors asked him to keep competing for another year. That would make the 2017 World Championships in London the final major competition of his career.
