Usain Bolt reveals the time he would take to complete a 100-metre race eight years after retirement

In spite of the fact that he retired as one of the greatest sprinters to ever grace the track, Usain Bolt, who is now 38 years old and believes that he could still clock a phenomenal timing in a 100-meter race, believes that he could still do so eight years after calling it quits on his incredible career.

During the 2009 World Championships, the Olympic legend established a world record speed of 9 minutes and 58 seconds. This record has been maintained up until the present day and does not appear to be in danger of being surpassed.

Following a career that was filled with medals and the breaking of world records, the Jamaican legend finished his career in a grand fashion by winning a bronze medal in the 100-meter race at the 2017 World Championships.

Despite the fact that it has been eight years since Bolt’s last professional track event, he continues to be of the opinion that he is capable of achieving the kind of timing that most people can only dream of in a 100-meter race.

“Maybe 10:30, that would be me,” the eight-time Olympic gold medallist said on The Obi One podcast. “That would be me.”

As part of his world record run of 9 minutes and 58 seconds, Bolt ran the fastest 10-meter time in a mere 0.81 seconds. This is roughly equivalent to the speed at which a horse can run.

Despite the fact that the track legend acknowledged that he was not as quick as he was back then, Bolt disclosed that he intended to train for three weeks and attempt to compete in a race in order to re-establish his 100-meter time eight years after he retired from the sport.

According to Bolt, “this question is being asked by everyone now.”

“I’m gonna go home, I’m gonna train for three weeks, I’m gonna do some work for three weeks and go to the track and do it and see how fast and so I can put it out because I have no idea.”

In his career, Bolt broke the record for the 100-meter dash three times. In 2008, he was the first person to do so, stealing the record from Tyson Gay by clocking in at 9 minutes and 72 seconds.

After that, he went on to break his own time in the Beijing Olympic Finals in 2008, and then he went on to eventually break it again in 2009 by winning the gold medal in a record time of 9 minutes and 58 seconds.

Although Noah Lyles and Gout Gout are both potential candidates for the 100-meter record in the years to come, his record has not even come close to being broken. This is because no sprinter has yet broken the 9:60 mark. However, his record has not been broken at all.

Bolt’s world record in the 200-meter event, which he set in 19:19, is still standing, despite the fact that he dominated the 100-meter dash throughout his entire career. The track legend admitted that he actually preferred the 200-meter event over his signature race.
