The Jamaican broke down in his final professional race, failing to finish in the final leg of the 4x100m relay after being beaten into bronze by Americans Justin Gatlin and Christian Coleman in the 100m.
The triple, double Olympic sprint champion collapsed on the home straight with cramp in his left hamstring. Last night, he was pictured with his new girlfriend Kasi Bennett in the early hours leaving Libertines night club in London.
But days before then Bolt reportedly got his post-retirement party started earlier - despite the possibility of one last gold medal to salvage his world championship at London 2017.
The 30-year-old was out until the early hours, according to the report in the Sun, as friends paid tribute to British high jumper Germaine Mason.
Bolt pulled up with cramp in his final race, with his team-mates blaming the poor scheduling and lengthy time waiting in the cold out on the track.
Despite not securing a fairy tale ending to his career, Bolt insists he will not come out of retirement.
“I’ve seen too many people retire and come back and make it worse or shame themselves,” he said. “I won’t be one of those persons.”
