Fatigued Bolt cancels entire Asia trip

World and Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt has canceled his trip to Asia for races in China and South Korea later this month because of fatigue, the Jamaican said on his website on Friday.

The triple Olympic and world champion was scheduled to run 100m races in Shanghai on Sept 20 and Daegu on Sept 25 after competing in a 200m at the World Athletics Final in Thessaloniki, Greece this weekend.

"I have been suffering from fatigue... and after careful discussions with my coach and management team, even with medical advice, we felt it necessary to close the season," read a statement on www.usainbolt.com.
