The renowned Jamaican sprinter and the fastest man ever Usain Bolt is still in the news, both on and off the track. According to him, he has plans of going back to racing.
The 38-year-old eight-time Olympic gold medallist has made references to a potential comeback to the track despite retiring more than seven years ago.
Bolt has stated that he would like to race for fun against Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell, and Tyson Gay, his former rivals. It is interesting to note that he made fun of Justin Gatlin’s great shape by excluding him from this possible event.
The next generation appears confident to carry on the tradition of Bolt’s rivalries. Recently, the kids of Bolt and fellow sprinter Asafa Powell received a race challenge from Justin Gatlin’s nephew.
In a recent episode of the “Ready Set Go” podcast, Justin Gatlin apologized to Bolt for a past incident in which he spat across his lane during their first competitive encounter in Zagreb.
Gatlin claimed the spitting was unintentional, possibly due to allergies, and was not intended to disrespect Bolt. Bolt acknowledged the incident but expressed respect for Gatlin, acknowledging his significant contribution to the sport.
