NEW YORK (AP):

Usain Bolt's representatives are in talks with publishers about a biography, the agent for the record-breaking sprinter said yesterday.

"We're negotiating a deal for a book for Usain," the agent, Ricky Simms, said in a telephone interview. "We can't really tell a lot about it at the moment."

As for the scope of the book or how much of Bolt's off-track life might be included, Simms said: "We're negotiating all those things."

Superstar

Bolt emerged as a superstar at last year's Beijing Olympics, winning gold medals in world-record times in the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4x100-metre relay. He took home golds in all three events again at this month's World Championships, smashing his own records in the 100 and 200.

The Jamaican is scheduled to race the 100 in Zurich on Friday, and a yet-to-be determined event at Brussels next week. He then plans to compete in Asia for the first time since the 2008 Summer Games, participating in a race at Shanghai on September 20, Simms said.
