According to NBC, Bolt said: “I think we’re looking good this year. They both are on a better path this year. With Kishane, I think he might have gotten the jitters out from last year. But I think that was the main thing. It was his first big, major championship (at the 2024 Olympics), right? To get into the finals and be one of the favorites is always going to be tough. So I think that’s something that is good for him. When it comes to Oblique, I think he’s been there so many times. I think it’s just his time.”Bolt also spoke about Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who will be retiring after the World Championships:"I’m proud to have said I’ve known her from the juniors and seen her come up through the ranks and done so greatly. I look forward to seeing her last race, just to cheer her on actually in the stadium live."Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce finished 6th in the Women's 100m finals, ending her decorated career in Tokyo.
