Bolt insists this is his last season

JAMAICAN sprint star Usain Bolt insists this “emotional” season would indeed be his last, bringing the curtain down on a glittering career which galvanised track and field at a time of doping and corruption scandals.

Bolt has won eight Olympic and 11 world gold medals in his career, but importantly was the outgoing, larger-than-life personality on whom athletics administrators could rely for a positive slant, an athlete widely recognised globally.

Asked whether he might carry on after this season, Bolt said: “No, I don’t think so!

“It’s just been a great career, I’ve really enjoyed the ups and downs,” he said. – AFP
