Usain Bolt explains how he would fare today in 100m was he to run.
Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt is unsure how he would fare now in his 100m specialty.
Bolt, the three-time Olympic 100m champion, said although he will spend weeks training, he will put up a spirited fight without knowing how it will end.
South African legend Benni McCarthy has been heavily linked with the Harambee Stars job and here is everything you need to know about the former Bafana Bafana striker.
Bolt, 38, retired in 2017 as one of the greatest sprinters in history whose world record times in 100m and 200m are yet to be broken.
In an interview with talkSPORT, Bolt said: “So I’ve said to people, everybody asks me this question now. I was like you know what, I’m going to go home, I’m going to train for three weeks, I’m going to do some work for three weeks.
“I’m just going to go to the track, run and do it and just see if I can go fast. Seriously, so I can put it out because I have no idea.”

Usain Bolt spearheaded Jamaica’s most successful history in the sprints in track and field.
Bolt who won 11 world championships gold medals in his illustrious career, however, maintained that he would run under-11 seconds despite lasting eight years out of the sport.
When asked if his time would still be under 11 seconds, he said: “Yeah, of course.” As for 10 and a half seconds, Bolt explained: “I think maybe 10 and a half, that’s where I’m like. Yeah, maybe that would be me.”
Persistent injuries forced Bolt into retirement at 31. The Jamaican said because of his injury record, he would run a reserved race because he fears rupturing his stubborn hamstring. “I’ll probably rip my hamstring. I’d probably have to run reserved but I’ve said this now.”
