A CONVERSATION
WITH USAIN BOLT
OF JAMAICA 
By Leslie Koroma Sr.
INTRODUCTION AND A
SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM
AFRICAN SPORTS MONTHLY 
African Sports Monthly Has
finally decided to release the
Usain Bolt Interview in our
February 2018 Issue, almost 6
years after it was conducted.
We are releasing it as an
archival and historical piece
due to the fact that Usain St.
Leo Bolt is now officially
retired.
As a media company with a
bright future we started off
with a lot of promise but as
reality set in, things sort of
slowed down and we were
forced to reduce our footprint
in our efforts then.
Unfortunately for us we failed
to capitalize on such a
monumental achievement to
be granted access to interview
one of the most sought after
athletes in the world who
rarely granted magazine
interviews at the time to gain
traction with our readers and
fell short by not being able to
publish it in a timely manner
(May 2012 Edition).
