Sports broadcaster, Andy Goldstein, conducted an exclusive interview with the legendary Jamaican sprinter, who famously won gold medals at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics in Beijing and London respectively
The Jamaican sprinter clocked a world-leading time of 19.55 when winning the 200m and he now owns 17 gold medals from senior global championships
The 17-time Olympic and World champion and double sprint world-record holder said he is looking forward to again squaring off with all his rivals, including American Justin Gatlin, as well as returning training partner, Yohan Blake
“I should have one more World Championships but I’m not too sure what I want to do after retiring. Some people say I should try acting but I think I will stay in sport and figure out what I can do,” the six-time Olympic champion added
Bolt has won back-to-back Olympic Games 100m, 200m and 4x100m titles in 2008 and 2012. He also won four straight 200m World titles between 2009 and 2015, adding to three 100m titles.
After the excitement of the past few weeks at the World T&F
Championships in Beijing I have decided not to race again in 2015,”
USA’s Justin Gatlin is again expected to be Bolt’s main rival for gold in the event, but the Jamaican is hopeful that his technical ability will see him claim a 10th world title.
Gatlin, who has earned a reputation in some circles as a villain of athletics after serving two previous doping bans, had run faster in the semi-finals and was unbeaten in 28 races heading into the Beijing final

Bolt is expected to compete in the 100m at the national stadium in Kingston, with the heats taking place on June 25, followed by the semi-finals and final the following day
“I wasn’t too happy with the time today but training has been going well and I am looking forward to what the rest of the season has to bring,” Bolt told the Diamond League’s official website
“Someone may come along one day and break one of my records, but to beat my legacy, they have to beat my whole body of work. So the more I can win, the greater that gets, and the harder it will be to overshadow. That’s what’s getting me out of bed now
In an era where the definition of “fast” is Bolt’s superhuman 9.58 seconds, how does he see himself keeping pace with the stratospheric standards? “The bar has been set very high on the term “very fast”. 9.8, 9.7 and hopefully 9.6 as well will come this year. So I want to go out there and dominate on a higher level,” says Gatlin, before adding, “Not just win but dominating with fast times. It was exciting for me to see someone accomplish those times. Before that I couldn’t fathom it. It opened up a new thought process for me
