Usain Bolt bids emotional farewell!

in #usainbolt7 years ago

Usain Bolt marked an emotional farewell at a sell-out stadium in Jamaica by winning his final 100m on home soil. Bolt clocked 10.03 seconds to win before a lap of honour in front of a raucous crowd who danced, waved flags and blew their vuvuzela horns while fireworks lit the sky.

The 30-year-old will bring down the curtain on his illustrious career when he retires in August after the World Championships in London and began his goodbye in front of 30,000 adoring fans in Kingston.
Letting aside his hundreds of achievements in his professional athletic career, i'm just listing down his personal bests because that i can fit in this story :)

It will be sad to see him retire. The fastest man to EVER walk the Earth. I would really hope to see him go play another sport. Like American Football. I don't know if he can catch but He is too fast to not try something else.

Absolutely @brianphobos. He's good at soccer too.
