LONDON, CMC – The track and field world is set to bid farewell to the greatest sprinter of all time in Usain Bolt when the IAAF World Championships gets going here this weekend.
Jamaican Bolt, a legend of the sport, will race for the final time at the August 4-13 showpiece before calling time on a decorated career that has brought him multiple World and Olympic titles over the last decade.
An 11-time World champion, Bolt, despite winning the men’s 200m at the last four World Championships, will only settle for the 100m this time around. And despite having only three 100m races this season and a season-best of 9.95 seconds, the irrepressible athlete told journalists he was ready and that the headline after Saturday’s 100m final would read “unbeatable, unstoppable Bolt.”
