Usain considering a bolt to soccer

Usain Bolt, the Jamaican world-record holder in the 100 meters, is considering to attempt what many people are referring to as the "Michael Jordan". Bolt, who ran a world-record of 9.68 in the 2008 Berlin Olympics  believes his body is only capable to sustain four more years of hard track running. After that Bolt believes he has the size, speed, and talent to spend two years kicking it up with professional footballers. The question many die-hard track fanatics will ask will be "Why?". My question is Why not?

Bolt's World Record run:



Bolt has already proven he's one of the best sprinters of all time by winning numerous Olympic Medals and beating record after record and has committed himself to a new world-record of 9.4, which he believes will stand as an unbeatable record, in the next four years. It's 2010, leaving the 24-year-old Jamaican two years until the 2012 London Olympics and 2 more years of World Championships and Diamond League races to achieve this goal. At 28 Bolt will have spent ten years in the professional world of track and field! Come on Track and Field fans give the guy a break! He's already won 6 Gold Medals (3 in the 2008 Olympics and 3 in the 2009 World Championships) and 2 Silver Medals in the 2007 World Championships. Who knows what more he'll accomplish in four years. Soak up the next four years of Bolt and then let him move on. This is a good thing for American fans.....maybe a new sprint star will capture our hearts, maybe he'll even be American, and some gold medals! An article on Bolt's future can be found  here at NY Daily News.


Bolt sprints to victory.
