Usain Bolt is one of the most decorated Olympians in the history of track and field. However, his end was not as incredible as his entire career. In the 2017 World Athletics Championship in London, the legend couldn’t finish the last race of his career. To see him limping on the track is one of the most heartbreaking moments in the history of sports.
Usain Bolt motivates young kids
Even his mere presence would bring a smile to any kid’s face. When he attends any event, the legend makes sure everybody is enjoying his company. During an event in which kids took part, the Olympic champion showcased some funky dance moves, and all of them seemed to enjoy it. He was mostly copying the young girl dancing beside him but couldn’t keep up with her. Though the children surrounding the two were completely loving it.

It was a small gesture by the legend to inspire young kids to pursue their dreams. As a kid, hanging out with the greatest sprinter ever will perhaps be one of the most memorable moments of their school life.
Who is going to be the next Bolt?
When you are the greatest at your sport, you become a benchmark for others to follow. Usain Bolt has been that benchmark for a long time. Though, with some promising young lads in the game, we might soon see someone finally living up to the expectations. In the light of the same, the US track legend Michael Johnson believes Erriyon Knighton could be the next Usain Bolt.
I don’t know him but from what I’ve seen @ErriyonK desire to be the next @usainbolt is about equal to Bolt’s desire to be the next @MJGold The best want to make their own history and surpass the last. https://t.co/zi8lGElaCr

He said, “I don’t know him but from what I’ve seen @ErriyonK desire to be the next @usainbolt is about equal to Bolt’s desire to be the next @MJGold The best want to make their own history and surpass the last.”
Do you think Michael Johnson is right in his judgment?
