There's a huge International Track Meet in Jamaica today - Bolt is running his last
race on home soil. I was there for his first international win back in 2002 when we hosted the World Juniors and we'll be there tonight. At 9.10-pm ET he will run his last 100M in the Yard

It has been 20 years since Usain Bolt first stepped inside the National Stadium as a competitor.
That 10-year-old boy showed little glimpse of the iconic figure he has since become, and when he takes the track for the final time in front of his home crowd at 10:10 tonight at the JN Racers Grand Prix 'Salute a Legend' 100m race, it will be with the assurance that he has fulfilled his ambition to become the greatest and, in the process, he made his countrymen and countrywomen proud.
"I've always pushed myself. I always wanted to be like the great Bob Marley himself, so it was always about working hard and trying to put my country on top," Bolt said in the lead-up to his Jamaican goodbye. "One of the greatest things for me is that when I go anywhere in the world, Jamaicans, wherever they are, say to me that I make them feel proud as Jamaicans, and that makes me feel really good."
An understatement, perhaps, nonetheless, the nation will show its gratitude and, along with a cadre of megastars that would make a Diamond League meet promoter grin from ear to ear, will, no doubt, present a spectacle for the sprinting superstar's swansong at the National Stadium tonight.

Usain Bolt blew past the field in his final race in Jamaica when he clocked a 10.03-second 100-meter dash at the Salute to a Legend Race on Saturday night.
According to ESPN.com, Bolt said he expects his final international runs to come at August's world championships in London.
The most accomplished sprinter in history, Bolt astounded at last summer's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, when he secured a triple-triple by winning gold in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100-meter relay for the third straight Olympics.
Bolt was later stripped of his 2008 4x100-meter gold medal in January after teammate Nesta Carter failed a drug test, but the incident hardly sullied his legacy.
Now 30, Bolt will attempt to run into the sunset with a couple of blazing sprints this summer.
I like the way they put that, Blew Past the Field. 
Peace
People were crying after the race. I've never seen anything like this.
