Usain Bolt Reveals the One Sport He Might Return To, and It Is Not Track and Field: 'I Will Be Ready.'

Though he has retired from competitive track, Usain Bolt has revealed the sport he might return to at a professional level.

It has been nine years since the Jamaican sprinting legend hung up his spikes, yet his influence on athletics remains as strong as ever.

Usain Bolt, whose 100m and 200m world records set in Berlin still stand, has successfully transitioned from dominant sprinter to global ambassador.

With cricket returning to the Olympics in 2028, the well-known cricket enthusiast was asked about a potential return to sport.

"I am happily retired from professional sport," Usain Bolt shared in an interview with Esquire Middle East. "I haven’t played cricket in a long time, but if they call, I will be ready!"

When asked if he had ever considered running a marathon, Usain Bolt was unequivocal. "No, I was a sprinter," he stated.

"We train to run very fast for a short distance. Marathon runners train to run over a much longer distance. Both involve running but are completely different events. I can’t see myself ever running a marathon."

The furthest he has ever run competitively was a 5k for charity, noting that his training regimen rarely involved continuous runs longer than 400 meters. Now, he finds himself in a different role, that of a mentor.

"I often get asked for advice by other runners and try to help where I can," Bolt explained. "I have always been someone who likes helping and motivating others to achieve their goals. I think that is the way I was brought up by my parents."

Looking at the current generation of athletes, Usain Bolt highlighted pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis and hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone as standouts.

"They have been winning consistently and breaking records for several years," he said. "They always bring their ‘A game’ when it matters."

Even years after his last race, the title that defined his career still resonates deeply. "Being called the ‘World’s Fastest Man’ will never get old!" he declared.

As he looks toward his 40s, Usain Bolt's focus has shifted from external success to personal fulfilment. "I hope the next phase of my life will continue on the current path," he reflected.

"I keep myself busy with my family, friends, work, and giving back. I enjoy watching my children grow up and hope to stay healthy and happy for many years to come."
