Rio Olympics Would Be My Last – Usain Bolt Confirms

 Usain Bolt has confirmed the Rio 2016 Olympics will be his last.
The 29-year-old Jamaican double world champion, who won six gold medals in 100-metre, 200-metre and relays in the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympics, doesn’t see himself competing at the Games in Tokyo 2020.

“It’ll definitely be my last Olympics,” Bolt told German news agency SID.
“It’s going to be hard to go four more years for me, to keep the motivation that I want, especially if I accomplish what I want to in Rio.”
Bolt, who stunned American rival Justin Gatlin to a sensational double at the Worlds in Beijing last year, also said he aimed to break the 19-second barrier in the 200-metres before his retirement in the next four years, while he plans to claim another treble in Rio.
“My biggest dream at the Olympics is to win three gold medals again,” he said.
“That’s my focus, that’s what I want. And that’s what I’m aiming for because that’s my goal and that’s my dream.
