Seems a little odd to me, and definitely a bit trigger happy.

Usain Bolt to retire after Rio Olympics - ESPN

How do you announce your sports retirement like 3 years ahead of time? It's not like his pension is going to hit or something.

Same reason Miley Cyrus is acting like a whore. To try and stay relevant.

What's the difference? They're both a healthy snack.

The problem is your focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?".

A nice, smooth construction cone in the color pink, with the base encrusted with bejazzled gemstones?

On a marketing forum people really ask these questions? Is the op srs or just mildly incompetent in marketing?

You're a dumbass then. You obviously don't follow this sport.

This is fairly strange, honestly don't think it's a publicity thing, there would be no benefit for him doing this. He's pretty young he could keep at this for much longer (and likely stay on top).

 

[c4yrslf12]

I find it very odd as well. His publicity is extremely high right now on and off the track, I don't find this advantageous for him at all.

Dude, the summer Olympics is only every four years... So that's like him saying he is going to retire after the next Olympics. Why is that weird?

Good on Bolt. Retire while he's on top.

He might not even make the Olympics then?
He might want to continue racing?


It'd be one thing if the Olympics were now, or even a few months from now. No big deal. But it's not. It's YEARS away. It's pretty illogical.
