Announces retirement plans

Retirement0 Comments

Bolt announces that he plans to retire after the 2017 World Championships in London.

That was the initial plan (to retire in 2016). But my sponsor has asked me to go on for another year, to 2017 and London. But I’ll be doing one event, the 100. I’ve already discussed it with my coach. I can concentrate on that, and on retiring on a winning note.
