Usain Bolt reveals his next move after disastrous finish of career

The world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, tweaked his hamstring half-way down the home straight and spectacularly crashed to the track as he ran the final leg of the relay for Jamaica and in turn, closing his career with a disastrous finish.Bolt, who had to settle for bronze in the individual 100 metres, had been hoping to sign off from the sport by leading Jamaica to a fifth successive relay gold, but they were already struggling in third when he collected the baton.As he tried to gain ground, Bolt pulled up and fell to the floor with what looked like a hamstring injury.He later returned to make a lap of honour which marked the end of illustrious career.“I was saying goodbye to the fans and saying goodbye to my events also,” he said. “These are my two events that I have dominated for years. I was saying goodbye to everything. I almost cried. It was close but it didn’t come.”After being beaten to bronze in the 100m, won by Justin Gatlin, a week earlier it was a bitter blow. But Bolt insisted he had no regrets about continuing after winning three golds at Rio 2016.“I don’t think one championship is going to change what I’ve done,” he said. “After losing the 100m someone said to me: ‘Usain, don’t worry Muhammad Ali lost his last fight also, so don’t be stressed about that.’ I’ve proven myself year in year out, throughout my whole career. My fans asked me to go on one more year and I did it for them.”What’s next for Bolt after ending his career?“My bucket list right now is to have some fun,” he said, “to just go out and have a drink. I’ve had a stressful championships, so I want to spend some time with my family, too.”As he did his lap of honour, a montage played of his greatest moments. They were the ones that halted countries, not even just his, in their tracks. Memories are a subjective thing, but Bolt and Mo Farah -- in this particular part of the world, at least -- had a way of invading the senses. No one could quite raise a roar like those two in London. They leave a sport trying to readjust and find balance without two of its long-standing, reliable pillars.When asked where he sees himself in 20 years his answer suggested he will not be actively clinging on to the spotlight.“Hopefully I’ll be married with three kids,” he said, “still in track and field and just watching sport grow. I said I won’t be one of those parents who force their kids to do the sport, but if they want to run I will tell and show them it’s a great sport.”
