Usain Bolt may retire from sport after 2016 Olympic Games
“I will prepare for the next season very well. First, I encouraged my coach Glen Mills to turn it down a bit but he convinced me that that is a bad option,” he said. “You need to continue working hard, reduce the risk to get injured and not having to pick it up from scratch.
“So in 2014 I will be racing like I did in any other season. The Commonwealth Games? I’ve never been there before but I’ll leave it up to my coach to decide on my competition program.”
Bolt also hinted that bettering his own world record of 19.19 seconds in the 200 meters, his favored event, could be on the cards as well.
“The 100 meter world record, which he also set, is the hardest to break because it is more technical,” Bolt said. “In the 200 meters, if I can master the bend and stay injury free, there is room for improvement.
“As I said, I will prepare well to race as fast as possible in 2014, and with no championships on my mind I can concentrate on just trying to race as fast as I can.”
