I will never come out of retirement – 38 -year – Old Usain bolt declares after Gout Gout surpasses and shatters his record breaking…

 

In a stunning twist to the world of athletics, 19-year-old Gout Gout has etched his name into the record books by winning the 200-meter title with a record-breaking time that officially dethrones sprinting legend Usain Bolt. The young sprinter’s meteoric rise and remarkable performance have sent shockwaves through the global athletics community. But even in the face of his historic record being broken, 38-year-old Bolt has made one thing clear: he’s not coming out of retirement.

 

“I will never come out of retirement,” Bolt told reporters at a press event in Kingston, Jamaica, shortly after Gout’s historic victory. “I’ve done what I came to do in the sport. Records are made to be broken, and I’m proud that my legacy inspired the next generation to push the limits.”

 

Gout Gout, the young Australian sprinter of South Sudanese heritage, clocked an electrifying 19.14 seconds in the 200m final at the World Championships, slicing a fraction off Bolt’s iconic 19.19 mark set back in 2009 in Berlin. The teenager’s fearless approach and flawless performance stunned fans and commentators alike.

 

Bolt, who retired from competitive athletics in 2017, has remained a beloved figure in global sport. With eight Olympic gold medals and countless accolades, he is widely regarded as the greatest sprinter of all time. His world records in both the 100m and 200m have stood as untouchable standards—until now.

 

“I watched the race,” Bolt admitted with a smile. “The kid ran with heart. That’s what the sport needs—new energy, new stars. I’m happy to witness that.”

 

Speculation quickly swirled on social media about whether Bolt might consider a comeback to reclaim his title. But the Jamaican icon swiftly shut down any rumors.

 

“People always ask me if I miss the track. Of course, I do. But I also know what it took to stay at that level,” he explained. “I’m enjoying life after sprinting. I’m focused on my family, my businesses, and giving back to the sport in other ways.”

 

Bolt’s firm stance comes at a time when athletics is experiencing a resurgence in young talent. Gout Gout’s sensational performance is just the latest in a series of records falling to a new generation hungry for greatness.

 

“I’ve always said that greatness inspires greatness,” Bolt added. “If my record being broken pushes more young athletes to dream bigger, then I’ve done my job.”

 

Gout Gout, meanwhile, paid homage to his idol in a post-race interview. “Usain Bolt has always been my hero. Breaking his record doesn’t mean I’m better—just that I had the opportunity to build on the path he paved.”

 

As the torch passes from one era to another, Bolt’s legacy remains intact—not just as a record-setter, but as a global ambassador for the sport. And though his records may eventually fade from the books, his influence on the track and the hearts of fans remains unshakable.
