I really enjoyed just being in a team and it was different from track and field. It was fun while it lasted.“I’m just doing many different things – the sports life is over, so I’m now moving into different businesses. I have a lot of things in the pipeline, so as I say, I’m just dabbling in everything and trying to be a businessman now.”While his dream of footballing stardom has come to an end, Bolt is hoping to emulate his success in athletics as a restaurateur.He has recently opened a chain of Caribbean street food restaurants called Tracks and Records.Bolt spent time training with Borussia Dortmund2
