Bolt could take on Puma role after retirement
04/08/2017
Mr Bolt will bring the curtain down on his illustrious career when he competes in the final of the 100 metres on August 5. He is an eight-time Olympic champion and holds the world record for both the 100 metres (9.58 seconds) and the 200 metres (19.19 seconds).
"Usain Bolt could be even more important for us when he stops running," Puma chief executive Bjorn Gulden said in an interview with German language business newspaper Handelsblatt. "I can even imagine that he could run our business in the Caribbean."
Puma has been sponsoring Mr Bolt since he was 15. On August 2, the brand held a special event in London to celebrate his career, where it presented him with a special pair of spikes to wear during his final race.
