Bolt embarks on ‘Mission 2017’

Usain Bolt has launched ‘Mission 2017’ by getting back to basics in his bid to add further honours to his already golden career, in what could be his final season before hanging up his spikes.

The Jamaican has returned to training after completing his ‘triple treble’ at the Rio Olympics, where he won gold in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay for the third straight games.

At the conclusion of the Rio Games the sprinter insisted he would not be competing at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, raising the possibility that the 2017 World Championship in London would be his last major event.

With the goal of adding to his collection of 11 World Championship golds, Bolt posted a video for his Instagram followers in which the sprint legend is warming up using a concrete block in Kingston.

Bolt captioned the image: ‘First day of training #BackToBasics #Mission2017’ with his surroundings certainly matching that description.

The usual glitz and glamour which accompanies Bolt is absent, with the sprinter preferring the more humble setting to begin preparations.
