Many Olympic 100mm champions may not even get the opportunity to become a defending champion much less a champion again.

That bar is still very high and you'll continue being a legend 🙏🏾 🙏🏾.. 🇯🇲 Jamaican and Caribbean greatness..

this guy made the Olympics so fire! must watch throughout his reign

I don't think none of us alive now will live to see Usain Bolt's record be broken. Jamaica 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲

Loved watching him run. I'm in the USA, but always rooted for him and his relay teams.

Totally understand, after 23 yrs in the military, and after 9/11 and a Med deployment with pirate ship raids, I had NO motivation to do 30 yrs. Sometimes, I wish I did 30, and other times I don't. My only regret was not getting orders to SHAPE in Belgium and I haven't visited there yet. I saw ALL my History class favorite countries, Iceland, Greece, Guam, Spain, Italy, the Azores.. Started in Florida for Bootcamp and Retired in Florida. Funny thing, it's what I said I was going to do in my HS yearbook. I love retirement

There will always be a bigger and faster generation of athletes...history doesn't lie! Just enjoy it while it lasts.

He wasn't just fast, he was an entertainer through and through. It will be hard for anyone to captivate the audience like he did. I mean, has any track and field athlete ever been more mainstream? Nah, not globally.

He could of beat his record but he was playing around looking back, the man is fast lol.

His speed is unbeatable, and imagine he ran and relaxed watching back at the competition, he's like flash

Would be fire if he just showed up at Paris and won another 4 golds! 😂

For someone to beat his record, it would have to be someone who has his same physical make up/height/ground contact speed and turnover. Just don’t see it…the odds of finding similar characteristics and athleticism is too rare. He WILL BE the greatest of ALL time for generations, after generation, after generation

USA got plenty of the same type athletes but they play football or basketball, Jamaica put allot of effort in track, it's just the 10 popular sport here, surprised noa Lyle ain't playing basketball with his height it's rare American that height run track

Whether his records are broken or not he's forever in the history books 📚 as the greatest, that you can't take away from him🤞

Bolt will always be a talking point for pundits ‘til the end of time. His retirement was impeccable. That’s perfect timing.

The GOAT

Blake's 200m was faster than Bolts before wind adjustment, and he also covered the distance faster after his start (because Bolt's reaction was faster, his overal time was also faster) so it's conceivable that the 200 record could fall (although we've hardly seen an athlete on par with Blake never mind Bolt) Nobody has ever come within a tenth of a second of his 100 time, I think that will stand until the sun explodes. To call the guy a generational talent is an unspeakable understatement - I think we've seen the marathon equivalent in Kelvin Kiptum, but I'm just sorry he never had the chance to put his world record completely out of sight for the next 100 years

@009Daft600 well yes, but being able to run 100m in under 9.6s or a marathon in under 2hrs aren't exactly selection pressures - obviously we become more efficient and we'll develop better gear and training regimes in the future, but these are narrow advantages that won't single handedly take 0.2s off your 100m or 2 minutes off your marathon - in our own lifetimes, we won't see another like Bolt or Kiptum, that's what I'm saying

That was a stand alone race blake ran while bolt did it in a world championship having ran heats in 100 and 200 and all that

Two of the greatest 200m sprinters, Usain Bolt and Michael Johnson. Day made! 👌🏾

Mastered, achieved and moving on to the next chapter in his life ❤

That's a boss level answer ❤😂 it's amazing to think that champions come in all shapes and sizes. But there's one thing they all have in common that arrogant, self-belief. The almost narcissistic conviction that I am the best .....this guy is a true champion ❤😂

He Didn't like training. He said many times he didn't like training. Naturally gifted!!

Bolt was a god amongst men on the track his body of work is insane

After getting to the zenith of any mountain you must go down into the valley and that is what he is expressing. That “depressed” feeling comes after winning the award, speaking on the stage, getting married (honeymoon stage ends), graduating and getting your diploma or degree, things that you have worked so hard to get or achieve etc etc. it is normal to have a lack of motivation therefore it is critical for you to take the time to discover what is NEXT to give you renewed Zeal and Zest for the next Zenith!

I think someone with the talent of Bolt who will not slow down towards the end will get a record one day, I’m not saying he never tried but he could’ve had a bigger record in 2012 according to his coach, he said himself his coach was unhappy with him in his autobiography.

He has set the bar for all our future generations. Retiring is his just reward. History books can only associate fast with Usain Bolt OLYMPION GOD. Olympion PLATINUM GOLD. 💖💖 Love n Respect him.

In his documentary,"I am Bolt" he said the reason he didnt do 400m was because training was too hard...So his focus was on the 200m and 100m. He ran the 300m and won it with 2nd fastest time...Then Wayde van Niekerk broke the 300m record pusing Bolts tine to 3rd fastest overall

​@@MrBreakfluid In addition He would have to give up running 100m & more importantly lose the better part of 2 stone/14kg.... He was running at a weight of 15st & height 6ft 5 - that's 15st an insane weight to carry for a 400m race aiming to do world class times

When you set a world record, then beat your own record this setting a new world record no one can tell you anything about when you can retire 😂

Usain one of the best athlete ever i neva stop watching his races his personality is out of this world 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

God blessed you always Bolt, you retired young, money is not all, you have a beautiful wife and some beautiful kids, you know how to take care of what you earn , thank you for doing so much for Jamaica,God blessed you. You retired young, you open doors for other Jamaican ,they should follow you, work hard and be successful. Bolt, you are a Hero, for ever,we missed you, I remember those days when you came to the UK, that was so exciting. Blessed. ❤️

31 is very young for your average person, or even another type of celebrity like a Hollywood actor. 31 for an ATHLETE, and especially for a sprinter, is generally old and past their prime. Also, 19.19 I feel will be broken in the next 5 years. Even Yohan Blake ran a 19.26 shortly after Bolt ran his record. But his 9.58 is untouchable for AT LEAST another decade.

I suppose, generally speaking (as you say) it tends to be a little past their peak. But it's not especially rare for people that age to still be in their prime, even in the sprints, and - when they are past it - injury / wear and tear / loss of motivation seems to be the primary cause > physiological ageing alone (even moreso in sports like the NFL - RBs fall off a cliff at 27/28). There are at least 6 or 7 elite sprinters / multi eventer athletes (decathlon / pentathlon) who've won medals at major championships (including gold) between 30-35. Damien Warner (Olympic champ at 32 with lifetimes PBs, world champs bronze at 34 despite carrying injuries), Kevin Mayer (world champ at 30), KJT (won the pentathlon worlds at 30 off 2 years of bad injuries), SAFP (PBs and world champ at 35), ETH (well, just shy of 30 at last Olympics), Sherika Jackson (she'll likely medal this summer at 30, if not win) etc. I think Bolt retired partly because of motivation (as he says), but also because the hamstring injury he incurred in 2013/14 wasn't holding up (in fact, it went in his last race).

Well, there is evolutionary proof that his record will be beaten. But he was great and set the bar real high.
