Usain Bolt is working hard to be fit for next Saturday’s season-opening 100 metres at the Racers Grand Prix track meet after the nine-time Olympic gold medallist took time off to mourn the death of a close friend.
In an interview aired on Jamaican national television Saturday, Bolt said he was unable to train for more than two weeks as he mourned the loss of his good friend, Germaine Mason.
The 34 year-old Jamaican-born Olympic high jump silver medallist died in a motor bike accident on April 20.
