WATCH: Usain Bolt races motorcycle taxi

Stops racing against people, starts racing against vehicles

Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt hasn’t run professional track and field since the summer of 2017, but he has done a series of very informal races. While he’s currently retired from professional running, he doesn’t seem to have completely thrown in the towel as he continues his off-distance racing streak.

Bolt recently raced a motorcycle taxi in Lima, Peru where, not surprisingly, he won. Bolt also ran the 40 yard dash at the NFL combine several months ago, clocking one of the best times in history. He ran that event in sweatpants and tennis shoes.

Bolt, who holds the world record for both the 100m (9.58s), the 200m (19.19s), and the 4x100m, is considered the fastest man in history. He briefly played for an Australian A-league soccer club, but did not accept a contract under terms offered in November 2018.

He also recently launched his own champagne brand in partnership with the South African company G. H. Mumm, to be called Mumm Olympe Rosé. According to a report in Kingston’s The Gleaner, the product mixes cognac with champagne, something that is very popular in Jamaica. Bolt also has his own hot sauce, branded Usain’s Insane Hot Sauce.
