Usain Bolt, the greatest sprinter of all time, has some chart-topping versatility. Observing how he is using his post-retirement years is quite fantastic.

 When Bolt was a kid, he competed in sports events such as cricket and football. His coach was astonished to see Bolt’s super speed during the game. He then started motivating Bolt to give track and field a try. As years passed by, Bolt was seen gaining lightning speed. Even after his retirement, Bolt will not let you forget him through his music.
