The eight-time Olympic gold medallist, who holds world records in the 100m, 200m and 4 x 100m relay, retired from athletics after the 2017 World Championships.

He is the only sprinter to win the Olympic 100m and 200m titles at three consecutive Games.

Bolt went on to pursue his dream to become a professional footballer, training with Norwegian club Stromsgodset and turning down a deal with Maltese club Valletta before joining Australian club Central Coast Mariners.

However, his A-League career lasted just eight weeks and in January 2019 he announced he was taking a step back from sport to focus on a business career.
