LONDON. — Usain Bolt is a genius and has had as big an impact on athletics as Muhammad Ali did on boxing, says Lord Coe.

Sprint legend Bolt, an eight-time Olympic gold medallist, is set to retire after the World Championships in London, which begin on Friday. Coe likened the Jamaican (30) to former world heavyweight boxing champion Ali, one of sport’s most iconic figures.

“He is the best sprinter of all time,” said Coe, who is president of the sport’s world governing body the IAAF.

“Usain Bolt is a genius. I can’t think, other than Muhammad Ali, of anybody that has so had an impact inside or beyond their sport. — BBC Sport.
