Usain Bolt to train with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund
DORTMUND, Germany — Borussia Dortmund’s chief has confirmed that nine-time Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt will practice with the Bundesliga team.
Hans-Joachim Watzke tells Kicker magazine on Sunday that “it was no joke” and “not a marketing move.”
Watzke was responding to a report in a Guardian newspaper that Bolt planned to train with Dortmund, one of the top Bundesliga teams.
Dortmund and Bolt are both sponsored by the same Germany-based sports goods company — Puma, whose president contacted Dortmund to say that Bolt had asked about training with the team.
