The Time Usain Messed Up
Look back at the 4×100 relay at 2017 World Championships, where Usain Bolt pulled up injured in the anchor leg as Team USA and Great Britain battled to a classic finish #NBCSports #UsainBolt
Why was Bolt’s injury in his final race particularly devastating, and how long was it expected to take to heal?
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, the fastest man in history, absolutely dominated the track for years, setting world records and winning numerous Olympic and World Championship gold medals. So when he announced his retirement in 2017, the entire world of athletics was left in shock. The star athlete’s swan song was supposed to be the 4×100 meter relay at the 2017 World Championships in London, where he hoped to end his career on a high note. Unfortunately, things didn’t go according to plan.
In the final race of his career, Bolt lined up with the Jamaican team, but everything went wrong for them. Bolt received the baton from teammate Yohan Blake in second place behind Great Britain. Running his last leg and chasing down the British team, Bolt suddenly pulled up with an injury halfway down the track. He immediately fell to the ground in agonizing pain, holding his leg as the other runners continued to finish the race.
The crowd was stunned and watched in disbelief as medical staff rushed to Bolt’s aid. He was helped to his feet and tried to finish the race, hobbling down the track with support from his teammates. However, the Jamaican team did not finish the race, and with Bolt being unable to cross the finish line, Great Britain took the gold medal.
The disappointing end to Bolt’s career was made even worse by the nature of his injury. Bolt later revealed that he had sustained a hamstring tear, which would take months to heal. It was a devastating end to an incredible journey that saw Bolt defy expectations, break records, and become arguably the greatest sprinter of all time.
Despite the disappointing conclusion to his career, Bolt’s legacy remains secure. His accomplishments have made him a true icon of the sport, with his speed and charisma inspiring countless young athletes around the world. And while it’s impossible to say what might have happened if Bolt had been healthy for that final race, one thing is for sure: he will always be remembered as one of the fastest, most electrifying runners in history.
