Bolt to Skip IAAF World Relays Ahead of Planned Retirement

Usain Bolt is unlikely to participate in the IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas next month.

The eight-time Olympic gold medalist made the revelation recently while speaking to reporters at a track meeting in Kingston. 

“My coach hasn’t said anything about it (World Relays), so I doubt that I will be competing there this year. I am just trying to stay injury free,” Bolt reportedly stated.

“It’s just going to be exciting and emotional, I think it might be a little bit emotional, but I am looking forward to it, it’s my coach’s meet, so I am excited to be a part of it.”

  

Bolt’s final race on Jamaica soil will take place at the Racers Track Club Grand Prix on June 10.
