Media Take Out has exclusively learned that Usain Bolt, the fastest man in recorded history is planning to come out of retirement …. and restore hopes of Jamaican track and field dominance.
According to a person close to Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest man has been mulling a return to track for the past year. And the poor performance of the Jamaican track and field team at the 2024 Olympics – has convinced Usain, that it’s time to return to the sport.
Usain is currently 37 years old – and would be 41 years old at the 2028 Summer Olympics. If he were to get a medal there, he would become the oldest track athlete to medal in the nearly 2000 year Olympic history.
But Usain still thinks he can do it.
Usain’s close friend and confident told Media Take Out, “Usain knows how to train and win. He retired because of the harsh toll that training took on his body. His body is still strong, and he’s still faster than all the other [United States] sprinters.”
“Usain will be training differently, using some of the state of the art techniques that athletes like Lebron James and Tom Brady are using,” the friend continued.
“It’s going to be a long road, and we don’t expect him to be winning races immediately. But I expect him to eventually regain his title as fastest man in the world.”
We can’t wait to see Usain back on the field. But can he restore Jamaican track to dominance, and finally beat the US sprinters like Noah Lyles … who knows.
Usain is an eight-time Olympic gold medalist and the world record holder in the 100 metres, 200 metres, and 4 × 100 metres relay.
Bolt is the only sprinter to win Olympic 100 m and 200 m titles at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012, and 2016). He also won two 4 × 100 relay gold medals. He gained worldwide fame for his double sprint victory in world record times at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which made him the first person to hold both records since fully automatic time became mandatory.
An eleven-time World Champion, he won consecutive World Championship 100 m, 200 m and 4 × 100 metres relay gold medals from 2009 to 2015, with the exception of a 100 m false start in 2011. He is the most successful male athlete of the World Championships.
Bolt is the first athlete to win four World Championship titles in the 200 m and is one of the most successful in the 100 m with three titles, being the first person to run sub-9.7s and sub-9.6s.
