Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, is finding that life after retirement is a new challenge. The 39-year-old Jamaican, who retired in 2017, recently revealed in an interview that he now struggles to climb stairs.
Bolt admitted that he gets out of breath when going up stairs, saying, "Climbing stairs has become a challenge." The eight-time Olympic gold medalist shared details about his post-retirement life, which now focuses on his family.
He said he spends most of his time with his children. "I usually get up before they go to school and watch them leave. After that, what I do for the rest of the day depends on my mood."
Bolt said that if he has no specific plans, he just relaxes at home. "I stay home and watch movies and series," he said. "I also enjoy Lego, so I build Lego sets. I hang out with the kids until they start bothering me."
When asked about his fitness, Bolt emphasized the importance of exercise and acknowledged his need to get back in shape. "I need to start exercising regularly again," he said. "I don't like going to the gym, but I've been away from running for a long time, so I think I really need to start running again."
Bolt announced his retirement in 2017. He holds multiple world records, including for 100-meter, 200-meter, and 4x100-meter relay races.
