The winner of four Olympics and eight World Championship gold medals, Johnson felt that even in the post Bolt era, athletics is one discipline which would excite the fans.
“I would say that even after Bolt’s retirement the athletics would provide a lot of excitement. Being an athlete, I am and will always be excited about the sport regardless of whether or not Bolt is there. Great competition is something that the fans want to see,” he insisted.
Asked about how the world Athletics body (IAAF) is handling the sport, Johnson said, “I am concerned about the future of sports, leadership of sports and the sport itself.
Athletics is a simple sport. It is very easy to follow. I don t know if rule changes are going to affect it.
