I wanted a comeback – Usain Bolt

THE fastest man on earth Usain Bolt has been happily settling into retired life and fatherhood after hanging up his cleats in 2017.
However the Jamaican sprint king and eight-time Olympic gold medallist revealed that there was a moment when he seriously considered making a sensational comeback to the track.
“I thought about that once and I actually went to my coach and sat down with him and talked to him,” Bolt exclusively told Wide World of Sports.
The now 33-year-old said the only thing that stopped him from making a potential push for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics was his long-time coach, who held him to a promise he made before retiring.
“My coach said to me, ‘No’,” Bolt explained.
“I remember when I was going to retire he said, ‘Listen to me, when you retire, you retire – you’re not doing a comeback tour’. And then when I actually went to him and said, ‘Hey coach what do you think? Let’s go try for 2020’, he said, ‘No, we’re not doing it.’
“I thought about it, but it was not on the cards for my coach.” – wws.com
