Why is sprinting legend Usain Bolt not competing at Tokyo 2020 Olympics?

THE Tokyo Olympics is well underway - and we have a new 100m men's champion.

However, it doesn't feel quite the same without Usain Bolt competing.

Why isn't Usain Bolt at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics?

Usain Bolt will not be at the Tokyo Olympic Games because he has retired.

The Jamaican, who would be competing in Tokyo at the age of 34 if he had continued, last raced at the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London.

There, he picked up a bronze medal after being beaten by American duo Christian Coleman and Justin Gatlin.

That marked the first time he had been beaten in a sprint final since the 4x100m relay at the 2007 World Championships.
