Pic:Getty Images But the 27-year-old said Thursday he could be convinced to race until 2017 at the age of 31. &quot;I am definitely reconsidering (retiring after 2016), I think my fans have voiced their concern about me retiring,&quot; Bolt said. &quot;They think I should carry on and so do my sponsors. I have discussed it with my coach and he says it is possible. We will see what happens but it&#39;s on the cards that I will extend it by one more year.&quot; Bolt won the 100m, 200m and 4x100m gold at Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Games.
