Being an Olympic champion is a dream for most people. As for Usain Bolt, that dream came true three times in a row. Despite retiring in 2017, he is still regarded as one of the best athletes in the world and is a sight for sore eyes when on the track. Now, with all his success, he is venturing into other fields and one of his primary aims is to become a successful artist. Last year, he released a new album with his friend Nugent Walker, named ‘Country Yutes’, which topped the reggae charts.

Learning and growing in a new field, tech-savvy Bolt loves the new age of technology and is experiencing it to the fullest. However, there is one tech gadget he is not a fan of; Drones!

Usain Bolt dislikes drones

In an interview where questions were focused on his love for technology, he shared some insights into what he loves the most. While he enjoys cars, video games, air pods, smartphones, and even having a peek into the future with holograms, Bolt does not like drones. He talked about having a tough time calibrating it and has now left it in the garage.

“When drones started coming out, I thought they were awesome. I got one, but it wasn?t that good. It took forever to calibrate, and every time I flew it, I had to recalibrate it again. So after a while I stopped using it and just left it in my garage. It?s probably still there,” said Bolt.

He is well versed in many aspects of life. Be it music, running, or raising a great family, Bolt has done it and seen it all. However, there is a little something that might influence him to get his drone out of the garage; The Drone Racing League.
