End of Usain Bolt era is two years away

[Jangle]

Yet in two years’ time, after the 2017 world championships in London, it will all be over. There will be no more Bolt. And as Seb Coe, who is running for the presidency of athletics’ governing body, the IAAF, said on Friday, this leaves the sport with a “high-class problem” because, in his view, Bolt has “captured the imagination like no sporting figure since Muhammad Ali in the 1970s”. Michael Jordan and Lionel Messi might have something to say about that but Coe is on the right track. For Bolt is someone who is known from Newark to Nairobi, and makes non-athletics fans want to watch athletics. Which isn’t something you can say about too many others in track and field.

Did UB say he's retiring in 2017? I didn't see that... he could take a page from Kim Collins' book... he ran 10.09 in that race that UB won in 9.87. Kim is 39!

He said that the next Olympics will be his last hoorah.
