Will Usain Bolt return for 2020 Olympics?

Returning to competition ahead of the Olympics in 2020 will not be an option, Usain Bolt has claimed.

From the 2008 Beijing Games onwards, the 30-year-old has dominated sprinting, winning every Olympic gold in the 100 meters, 200m and 4x100m to make history as he eliminated other nations' chances of standing atop the podium.

Asked whether he will attempt to return to the big stage in Tokyo in 2020, Bolt told Sport Bild, as per Yahoo Sport he will not be tempted into making a return.

"That will not happen," he said.

"I won't know how to motivate myself by then. I don't have to prove anything to anyone.’

Bolt also spoke about Michael Phelps who reversed his decision to retire after London 2012 to return for this year's Olympics in Brazil.

Of Phelps, he added: "His swimming can't be compared with my running. Swimming is something natural. Michael will continue to swim after his retirement. 

"But 100 and 200 meters of running, this is nothing natural. If you stop this, you don't start again. At least I will not."

He also paid tribute to the services of esteemed German doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt in helping the Jamaican to stay in peak condition.

"Without Mull, I could not have won my three gold medals in Rio," he said.

"He is almost a family member. I trust him 100 percent."
