The athletics legend, Usain Bolt has claimed victory in his
final 100m race in Jamaica in front of 30,000 fans. The global superstar was
overwhelmed by the support he received and admitted to being more nervous than
ever before.
Bolt claimed victory at 10.03 to officially end his
phenomenal career in London's World Championships in August. The eight-time
Olympic gold-medalist kissed the track after his victory as fireworks lit up
the night sky on the Caribbean island.
He said: 'The run, it was just OK. I must say it was OK. I
don't think I've ever been that nervous running a 100m.'
He added: 'Just the atmosphere and the people, the support
they came out and gave me, it was really nerve-racking. I never expected this,
I knew it was going to be big, the stadium was ram-packed so thank you guys for
coming out and supporting me.
'It's big to see everybody that turned out. It shows that
what I've done for the sport is a big deal to them and they really appreciate
it.
'So thank you and it was my honour to put the sport of track
and field at the top and to continue to dominate.
'I'll try my best even when I've hung up my spikes, to
really continue to push track and field in any way possible,' he concluded.
