“Train hard, turn up, run your best, and the rest will take care of itself.” That’s been Usain Bolt’s mindset from the beginning, and it hasn’t changed, even in retirement. Since stepping off the track in 2017, the Jamaican sprint icon has stayed locked into the sport. While he’s no longer chasing gold medals, Bolt is now showing love to his favorite NBA team: the Golden State Warriors. His support? Loud and consistent. Whether it’s repping Steph Curry’s jersey or tuning into games mid-workout, Bolt stays courtside in spirit. And this time again!
Back in March 2025, Bolt dropped an Instagram video of himself grinding through a home workout while watching the Warriors play the Trail Blazers. The caption said it all: “Putting in that work while my team is putting in that work @warriors.” And even after the Warriors got knocked out of the playoffs, losing four straight to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Bolt is right there, posting on X with encouragement: “Next season we go again…”
Next season we go again ..

That kind of faith? It’s what makes fans love him even more. The Warriors had a bumpy postseason. After squeezing past the Houston Rockets in a dramatic 4–3 first-round win, things took a turn. In the Western Conference Semifinals, Steph Curry suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain in Game 1, and just like that, the Warriors’ rhythm was thrown off.
Curry never returned, and Minnesota took full advantage, winning the series 4–1. Game 5 ended in a 121–110 loss, sending the Warriors home and fans into heartbreak. But Usain Bolt? He kept the optimism alive, reminding everyone what real support looks like. And while he’s cheering from the sidelines, Usain Bolt has a major life achievement.
Usain Bolt takes on a new role to boost Jamaica’s economy
Usain Bolt’s love for Jamaica just hit a new stride. The sprinting icon has been officially appointed as the Global Ambassador for the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB), a role that recognizes not only his superstar legacy but also his commitment to uplifting his home country. The announcement was made during the JTB’s 70th Anniversary celebration at Devon House in St. Andrew, where Bolt was welcomed with thunderous applause.
“We have a deal, but we’re trying to make it a lifetime, right?” Bolt joked to the crowd. “We’re gonna work on that,” showing his passion to represent Jamaica far beyond any short-term contract. Bolt took the moment to reaffirm something he’s said throughout his career: Jamaica made him who he is. “You should always support your country. One of my biggest things is to always try to uplift Jamaica,” he told the audience.
His mission is bigger than tourism promotion—he wants to help combat poverty and drive opportunity on the island. And this new role comes just as he shares an exciting personal life update: he’s been spending more time focused on his family, raising his three young children with long-time partner Kasi Bennett, and laying the foundation for legacy projects, including youth development through the Usain Bolt Foundation.
Between Dad’s life, business ventures, and global appearances, Usain Bolt’s plate is full, but his heart remains right at home. “I look forward to making an impact as always,” he said. “I will continue pushing to make Jamaica number one… and to keep the flag flying high.” The evening was filled with support from national leaders, including Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett, Sports Minister Olivia Grange, and others who hailed Bolt as a true Jamaican icon.
With Bolt now serving as a global face for the island’s tourism and a proud father shaping the next generation, it’s clear: retirement hasn’t slowed him down; it’s just shifted his race into a new lane.
