Legendary Usain Bolt is plotting for a huge Olympic return after 12 years in Los Angeles in 2028 but in a totally different sport. With eight gold medals at the Olympics across three editions and 11 yellow metals at the World Championships, Bolt cemented his legacy as the fastest man on the planet. His last Olympics came in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.

But before sprinting, Bolt’s first love has always been cricket as he aspired to become a fast bowler like a lot of children in Jamaica. However, a suggestion from a high school cricket coach to try track and field, changed his life forever and led to a birth of the greatest sprinter in the world.

While sprinting may not be possible anymore for Bolt at the age of 39, Bolt hasn’t given up on his dream of representing Jamaica at the Olympics once again. With the game of cricket returning to Olympics after 128 years, Bolt put his foot forward if called by Jamaica cricket team.

“I am happily retired from professional sport. I haven’t played cricket in a long time but if they call, I will be ready,” Bolt was quoted as saying to Esquire a day before the Doha Marathon.
