column 3x3 box

and shaded 3x

box contains

each of the

Sports

Will there ever be another track star

like Usain Bolt, someone who com-

manded the eyes of 80,000 people

whenever he walked into a stadium,

then put on one spectacular perform-

ance after another?

It seems unlikely, though records fall

and stars rise. Someone will eventually

run the 100 and 200 meters faster than

Bolt did. But will they do it with the

same style and longevity?

Bolt is happily retired and pursuing

the life of the global superstar — in

short, being Usain Bolt. He was in New

York City last week on behalf of a

sponsor, Gatorade.

He still looks like he is no more than

a few solid weeks of training from

taking on the world again, though that

isn’t going to happen.

In an interview, Bolt spoke about

what it takes to be a champion sprint-

er, his flirtation with soccer and the

chances of a comeback.

This conversation has been edited

and condensed.

Do you miss the competition?

The competition, yeah, I definitely do

miss the competition. But I don’t miss

the training.

That was my next question. I take it

you don’t miss the training.

No, no. I still try to train to stay in good

shape, but just the regular gym ses-

sions. I don’t miss the training one bit.

So what do you do all day?

I stay busy. You see my work with

Gatorade. I work with my sponsors. So

that’s my focus right now. I’m trying to

do different businesses. A school is

opening that we are working in.

Will you go to the world champi-

onships this fall in Qatar?

I don’t know. I’m thinking about it. I

might be busy around that time, but I

am definitely going to the Olympics.

Who is the next great Jamaican

sprinter?

I honestly don’t know. The ladies are

doing really well. Shelly-Ann Fraser-

Pryce is still doing well. Elaine Thomp-

son is doing well. There’s the other

one, Briana Williams. She ran close to

the world record last month. The guys,

I’m not sure who is going to step up.

What about the Americans, or is

there anyone else who looks like a

special talent internationally?

Throughout the year I have always

told people someone might be doing so

well, but for me it comes down to the

championships. A lot of people show up

when it’s just a one-off, but when it

comes to rounds and competition and

mind-set that you need in the champi-

onships, you never know.

What about the American Noah

Lyles? Have you seen him run?

Yeah, I’ve seen him run, I’ve seen him

compete. Last season he was doing a

lot of good things, this season he has

started off good. But as I said, it all

comes down to the championship. Is he

confident to come into a race after

running three races and show up? For

me he has shown that he has talent,

but when the championship comes, we

will see what happens.

Will you ever coach?

No. I’m definitely not a coach. My

coach said I could do it, but I don’t

think I have the patience.

You don’t think people would listen to

you?

It’s not about listening. I know what I

put my coach through when I was

going through my career, so I don’t

think I could handle that.

You don’t think you could handle a

personality like yourself?

Yeah, and there are so many different

personalities. No one is the same. So I

see the difficulties the coaches have

gone through over the years with

different athletes. So I don’t think I

could have the patience to deal with all

the different personalities.

You tried out for an Australian soccer

club once. How is your soccer career?

I wanted to do that, but that didn’t

work out, so I just decided to scrap it

and focus on business and working

with my sponsors.

Do you still play pickup games?

Yeah, definitely, we have a tournament,

a six-a-side tournament that I play

every Saturday with my friends.

So in Jamaica, every Saturday, you

are playing soccer?

Yes, it just started. We play Tuesdays

and Thursdays with all my friends, but

this is like a tournament.

Let me guess: You are a striker.

Yes.

You don’t play defense?

No, I can play defense, if it is neces-

sary, if they need me, because some-

times not everybody is available to

play, and you have to be smart because

we have a lot of strikers, so if we don’t

have a lot of defenders I will play

defense.

No interest in an American football

career?

No, it’s something I never wanted to do

because I have seen it. I am a Packers

fan, so I do watch the game, and I see

the hits these guys take. Because I am

fast and I would be a wide receiver,

people would be gunning for me.

If you were talking to a promising

13-year-old who had real sprinting

talent, what are the three things you

would tell that 13-year-old to do?

At that age it should be just about

enjoyment. A lot of people put so much

pressure on the other kids to do well,

but at 12 or 14, you just get to high

school, just have fun, enjoy it, because

when you put too much pressure on

these kids too early, they kind of lose

their way because there is all this

stressing. I have seen so much talent

that has been destroyed because there

is so much pressure on them at a

young age.

Is that a particular problem in Ja-

maica, where sprinting is such a big

thing that everyone is obsessed with?

Yes, I think so. It’s massive. At a young

age, as soon as you get into high

school, especially at the top high

schools in Jamaica, they are doing

track and field, and there is so much

pressure. They have a thing called the

Boys and Girls Championships. Every-

body wants to win, so they put a lot of

pressure on the younger kids to do well

and perform. Sometimes they push

them too hard. Back in my day, I was

at a school that didn’t have a chance to

win championships, so it was easy for

me. There wasn’t any pressure. I just

enjoyed it. I just would run and train,

and that was it.

Zero chance of a comeback?

I’ve learned from many people: A

comeback never works out well.

Usain Bolt is doing just fine, thank you

Left, Usain Bolt won a third consecutive gold medal in the 100 meters at the Rio Olympics in 2016. He retired a year later. Right, Bolt spoke to members of the New York Road Runners last week in Central Park.
