[Hawnsgist] Usain Bolt Confirms Retirement

The fastest sprinter in the world, Usain Bolt has confirmed his retirement. In a statement to a news source on the reason for his retirement, he said:

“I’ve just done everything I wanted to do in the sport,” Bolt told Reuters.

“I asked (former U.S. sprinter) Michael Johnson the same question, ‘why did you retire when you were on top?’. He said the same — he had done everything he had wanted to do in athletics so there was no reason to stay in the sport. Now I understand what he means.

“I just wanted to run and to be part of it. I had to take it easy because I wasn’t at the level I would usually be. It was the first time I had competed at this time of the year.”
