Usain Bolt sparks speculations of making sensational return to sprinting
Fans across the world are speculating that Bolt could make a comeback in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
World’s fastest man ever Usain Bolt has sent tongues wagging over a possible return to the track going by his latest post on his social media platforms.
Bolt was last in action back in 2017 when he competed at the Kingston Racers Grand Prix clocking 10.3 to win the race.
In a post on his Instagram handle, Bolt posted a video of himself going through the paces as he ran up the staircase of a stadium.
The speed demon accompanied the video with the caption, ”What we been through is more than tongue can tell.”
The post left a number of fans speculating whether Bolt is gearing up for the 2024 Paris Olympics after he was a surprise inclusion in the torch-bearing ceremony.
“Come on man! One more Olympics!!,” read one of the comments on the post. “What? Usain bolt coming in 2024 Olympics,” commented another Instagram user.
One of the users pinpointed to financial implications of Bolt’s return to the sport as the user called for the Olympic committee to hand him an active role in the games.
“His return even fa (for) one race would sell out any stadium but a deal would have work out tickets sale would have to split 50/50 plus tv network I believe the Olympic committee should have this man as a commentator are have something to do with sport,”
Bolt became a household name during his 13-year career that saw him etch his name into the annals of history, winning an impressive eight Olympic gold medals and 11 World titles.
The 37-year-old’s maiden World Championship gold medal will forever live in his memory and that of athletics enthusiasts after clocking a 100m record in a time of 9.58.
Since his retirement, Bolt has dipped his toes in a number of sports including football where he haboured the dream of signing for Manchester United.
The sprinter also once played NBA All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game and had an offer to join cricket side Melbourne Stars owing to his love for the sport from a young age.
