At the age of 39, the man who once amazed the world with his lightning speed now admits he has lost the physical foundation that made history.

Bolt holds the records for the 100m (9.58 seconds), 200m (19.19 seconds) and 4x100m relay (36.84 seconds). He has won eight Olympic gold medals, 11 world titles, and left behind a legendary image of being able to smile and cross the finish line before his opponents. But those “golden days” are now a distant memory.

At an event in Tokyo (Japan), Bolt revealed his current living habits. He said: “I usually wake up in time to take the kids to school. If I have nothing to do, I just relax at home. When I feel like it, I go to the gym a bit, otherwise I watch movies and build Lego with the kids.”

What caught the most attention was when he admitted his declining fitness: “I work out at the gym, but I think I'll have to start running again, because now I'm out of breath climbing stairs.”

Bolt laughed off his remark, but it was enough to remind him of the terrible difference between the "fastest man on the planet" of the past and the busy father he is today.

Despite this, Bolt remains optimistic. He enjoys a simple life with his family, no longer obsessed with achievements or the big stage. Finances are not a problem either, despite losing $12 million to fraud. According to Forbes in 2023, before this incident, Bolt's assets accumulated from competition and advertising had exceeded 100 million euros.

From a superstar standing at the pinnacle of sports , Bolt has now become a living proof of the harshness of time. But with a smile always on his lips, he is still "The fastest man on the planet" in the memories of millions of fans.
