Bolt Feels Disrespected by Critics, Insists He Has Not Lost His Form
2014 was not the best year for Usain Bolt.
The world’s fastest man could compete only three times because of persistent injuries.
His limited appearances on the track in 2014 led to some doubts over his form and his ability to replicate his previous world leading performances. Bolt set both 100 metres and 200m world records in 2009 and won an Olympic sprint double for a second time at London 2012.
Bolt recently tried to lay all fears concerning his form to rest at the IAAF World Relays in Bahamas.
“I can get back to that,’ he said, ‘For me, I was never gone. It was just that I had a bad season like any athlete and lost the form I need to get back. A lot of people said “Bolt was gone” but I was never gone. I need to get back in shape and I’ll be all right”.
“I definitely think people have been disrespectful. But I’m going to keep my calm, not be aggressive and be nice to everybody. But they’ll push the wrong button one day and we’ll see what happens”, he said.
Gatlin dominated the sprints in Bolt’s absence last year, running 100m and 200m personal bests at 9.77sec and 19.68sec respectively, to top the world rankings in both.
Both are scheduled to compete in the 4x100m and 4x200m in Nassau. It is likely to be the only time the two will clash before the World Championships in August.
Do you have any doubts Bolt will be able to recapture his former world leading form?
