DISCOVERY BAY, Jamaica, Oct 19 (Reuters) – Triple Olympic and world champion Usain Bolt has enjoyed a record-breaking two years but is now looking to slow down and “chill” a little, he told Reuters in an interview.
Back home in Jamaica after another globe-trotting season in which he broke the 100 metres world record for the third time, Bolt is finally hoping TO relax before a year in which he is likely to compete and travel less.
The sprinter has been back in Jamaica for around a month and after attending various awards ceremonies and other functions on Sunday he took part in what should have been a fun laid back event, a charity cricket match.
But Jamaica’s most famous son does not get much in the way of personal time when he ventures out in public and he was constantly surrounded by fans, spending a good chunk of the day signing autographs and posing for photographs.
Asked if he was able to have any kind of normal life, Bolt revealed a little frustration but was careful to show appreciation for his fans.
