Usain Bolt, the fastest man of all time, had planned a straightforward end to his unparalleled career in 2017. However, in a shocking turn of events, he, unfortunately, suffered an injury during his very last leg, which was the 4×100 meters relay final at the World Championships.

Usain Bolt, the champion Jamaican sprinter, is considered to be the fastest man of all time. He is a world record holder in the 100m, 200m, and 4×100 meters relay and an eight-time Olympic gold medalist. Bolt is the only sprinter to win the Olympic 100m and 200m titles at three consecutive Olympics. However, he didn’t have an ending as glorious as his career.

When Usain Bolt apologized to his team

In what came as a shocker, Usain Bolt, in his very last race at the World Championships, injured himself. He had just taken the baton for Jamaica and, when in a bid to catch up with the leaders, he stopped suddenly with a cramp in his left leg and eventually tumbled to a complete halt after taking a forward roll.
