Usain Bolt has admitted that his love for sprinting faded after a tough 2015, and his early preparation for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro were hampered by his lack of interest.
Speaking ahead of the premiere of his film, I Am Bolt, the 30-year-old, nine-time Olympic gold medalist said the pressure is now off as he prepares for his final year in the sport.
"The workload I had leading up to the Olympics and even at the 2015 world championships meant there was so much pressure and stress that it just wasn't fun anymore," Bolt is reported as saying in the Guardian.
