It’s official! Usain Bolt is a massive GAA fan

A strange choice of team

He’d make a mean corner forward.

Usain Bolt is one of the greatest athletes of all time, there is no doubting that.

The Jamaican bowed from his 100-metre career during the week falling to shock third place behind Justin Gatlin and Christian Coleman.

It’s okay though, after retiring from racing, Bolt looks almost certain to pursue a career as a GAA player.

Physio Anthony Geoghegan has been working at the World Athletics Championships the past week and managed to get a snap of Usain Bolt with a jersey from his new favourite county.

According to Anthony’s daughter Tanya, who spoke to SportsJOE earlier today, informed us that her father has been working with Bolt for quite some time now and have even managed to get the eight-time Olympic champion to sit down and watch Turlough O’Brien’s men this summer.

The love for Carlow didn’t stop at, the newly crowned 100m champion Tori Bowie was also pictured a more modern Carlow jersey and Geoghegan paraded his county colours at the World Championships.
