Bolt’s retirement event is the world championships later this year in London, but there had been hopes he might have made the Games next April his swan song.
The Jamaican eight-time Olympic champion has ruled out that idea.
“To come out here next season, to really train as hard as I need to get to the level I need to win, it’s not going to happen,” he said.
Bolt was in Melbourne as the No.1 athlete competing at the inaugural Nitro athletics series from Saturday.
