‘I don’t need to prove anything else. What else can I do to prove to the world I am the greatest?’, Usain Bolt said in Rio after becoming the first athlete to win the men’s 200m gold in three consecutive Olympics after victory in Beijing and London.
‘I am trying to be one of the greatest. Be among (Muhammad) Ali and Pelé. I hope to be in that bracket after these Games’, he added
The Jamaican holds the world record for the 100 meters (9.58 seconds in 2009) and 200 metres (19.19 in 2009).
While Bolt’s mother – like a typical black mother – wants him to retire, get married and start a family, sport fans just want the man to be gone from the tracks because, let’s be frank, it’s becoming ridiculous how no one can challenge him.
How ridiculous?
Usain Bolt will have to retire, before there will be a real competition on the tracks. Man can represent earth in intergalactic #Olympics

As much as I appreciate Usain Bolt, I can’t wait to see him retire. I don’t like watching a sprint and be certain about who’d win it.

I kind of hope Usain Bolt does retire after Rio. There is literally nothing else for him to achieve. He’s 29. It’s mad!

If you are yet to really grasp just how ridiculous Bolt’s dominance is,
A man snap chatted the 100m final from start to finish. ( understand how fast that is ) Rapid!!! LOL BOLT need to retire it ain’t fair.

Snapchat videos max out at 10 seconds!
Anyway, man is a legend and some paid their homage
After this Olympics, Bolt should just retire. I wouldn’t want to see him run a major race and come in second. Will be terribly sad.

Bolt should retire. He should go out without ever letting someone beat him at the Olympics.

Bolt should just pull a Mayweather and retire. It is safer that way.

If I were Bolt, I’d retire now. Leave as a legend. World Champions is unpredictable because he isn’t in the best state rn and he knows.
