Oktoberfest Race Coaxes Usain Bolt Out Of Retirement, Sort Of
Usain Bolt has been known to enjoy Germany's annual Oktoberfest in past years, and this month's Bavarian beer festival is no exception -- especially now that the 31-year-old track star is retired from sport. Some may be surprised to see that a fellow German party-goer coaxed the world record holder back into competition, though, in a series of Snapchat images posted online this week by the Daily Mail.

The race took place in a nightclub parking lot in Munich, where the unnamed young woman received a head start out of the blocks (starting implements are unconfirmed). She was still no match for Bolt, despite the fact that the Jamaican was spotted drinking beer earlier in the day.

Both athletes were reportedly sporting traditional German attire, as Bolt was outfitted in lederhosen shorts and the woman wore a dirndl.
