"There were flashes of the trademark charisma, not least when Usain Bolt bluntly assessed why his times remain unrivalled, but also no mistaking Superman's return to normality. Amazingly, the Tokyo World Championship is the first athletics event that Bolt has attended since retiring in 2017 and, while rapturously received by the Japanese fans, stepping back into the spotlight is clearly far removed from his day-to-day life back home in Jamaica."

Usain Bolt showed flashes of his trademark charisma and bluntly assessed why his times remain unrivalled. He attended the Tokyo World Championship, marking his first athletics event appearance since retiring in 2017. Japanese fans received him rapturously during the visit. The return contrasted the public adulation with his settled, everyday life back in Jamaica. Stepping back into the spotlight proved far removed from his day-to-day routine at home. The appearance underscored both the enduring stature of his achievements and the personal distance he maintains from competitive sprinting.
