SPRINT superstar Usain Bolt says that he will put back his planned retirement until 2017 at the request of his sponsors.
The six-time Olympic gold medalist and 100 and 200 meters world record holder had intended to retire from the track after the 2016 Rio Olympics, but the Jamaican said on Friday that he will compete for a further extra year.
“I think I’m going to do another year. My sponsors asked me to do one more year, so I will compete until 2017,” said the 27-year-old. If he sticks to his plan then Bolt’s last competition is likely to be the 2017 world championships in London.
