You have seen him running
in the track like Chiitah and one day
you may see dribling the ball and scoring the goal in football Ground.He may
already be a legend on the track but Usain Bolt is not done, yet. The fastest
man on Earth sees himself playing football once he retires from the track.The
Olympic and world champion said that he might try his hand at the global game.
"I have said I wanted to try football," said Bolt, world-record
holder in both 100 and 200m. "I always wanted to try to play soccer. Maybe
at the end of my career. It would be something I would love to try. I watch it
on TV and see these guys play. I play it all the time with my friends. I played
childhood matches in Jamaica and I did well. I think it is something I would
like to try to do."

Two days after saying he would like to defend his 100 and 200m
titles at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the 26-year-old said he may
still branch out to other track events.
After becoming the first man
to defend both 100 and 200m Olympic titles, the Jamaican said his
accomplishment hit him only after he returned home.
"It's a great thing to
achieve a goal you always wanted," Bolt said. "For me it was an
honour. I have worked hard to become a legend. For me to go home after the
races, sit down, and reflect on what just happened, it was emotional.
"It's a wonderful
stepping stone in my life to be a legend in my sport."
