You never know if Usain Bolt really serious, but the chances that the Jamaican sprinter has opened for the future ranging from football and cricket to try a triple Olympic unthinkable in Rio de Janeiro 2016 . "What now?" Asked the world of athletics when Bolt met on Thursday with a mission that had been imposed and that was preaching for three years, become a legend in London to defend his Olympic titles in 100 and 200 meters . The Jamaican offered few certainties in the press conference after his memorable feat, but did not dodge any questions and left a slogan: " Everything is possible . " "I need to sit and think of something that motivates me. Might play football," launched the sprinter. "If I'm good," he added with a finger up and eliciting laughter from the audience. At 25, Bolt does not rule out changing sports.Michael Jordan , for example, proved a season of baseball before returning to basketball. With 1.93 meters high and 9.58 seconds in the 100, the speed and physical strength of the Jamaican are beyond doubt. Bolt even joked via Twitter with the English player Rio Ferdinand to fix him a trial with Manchester United , his favorite team. It does not look to accompany Wayne Rooneyup front, but running through the band: "I am better end, as Nani and Valencia, which are the fast guys the team." Football is his favorite, but also passionate about cricket. " The Twenty20 version is fine , "he said. "I think I'm ready to play in the IPL (the Indian Premier League ). If I have the opportunity, I will. Besides, I have many fans there. " Maybe it's just one of his jokes, but the publicity it could generate the signing of athlete's media world for a football or cricket club makes the step in a marketing operation so good. "I do not care about money," he said in any case, the athlete, who enjoys a considerable fortune and is very fond of good cars.
"The issues of money I leave to my team. I am dedicated to doing my job." That is, at least for now, run as fast as possible. London has yet to contest the 4x100 meters , will be searched along with his comrades, complete the hat trick of gold achieved in Beijing 2008. After ending his season at the meetings of Lausanne (August 23), Zurich (August 30) and Brussels (September 7), but has yet to decide which test run in each city. Then it's time to rest and think about new challenges. "I will not be in the Jamaican bobsleigh team," joked the athlete, who now intends to follow in the tracks. "I will not retire. I love athletics," said who once flirted with the possibility to prove in the long jump or in the 400 meters. That's something we have to talk to his coach, Glen Mills, but the sprinter does not seem willing to take the effort to prepare for return to the track, an event that requires much more work than the sprint. "No," replied emphatically when I inquired. "And never again to ask more questions about the 400 meters."
What Bolt does not rule so sharp is to continue running to Rio 2016, but then you get more out than in athletics. "I think that's going to be a very tough mission," he said pointing to the two men who flanqueban Thursday in the press room at the Olympic Stadium, his countrymen and training partner Yohan Blake and Warren Weir , silver and bronze respectively in the 200. "These two guys have 22 years. I will have 30 in 2016 and including 26. I'm sure it will run very fast and I are going to do very hard these years," he said. "Everything is possible, but do not look that far." Yes you know what it will do tomorrow night, when his involvement in perhaps his last Games, "I'll celebrate like it's my birthday."
