Usain Bolt said a current or former promising sprinter “disrespected” him, but he has not said which one.

Bolt was asked Tuesday if he could name anybody who could fill his shoes as world’s fastest man after he retires following the world championships (Bolt begins racing Friday on NBC Sports).

“I’m not going down that road,” Bolt said in London, which hosts worlds at the 2012 Olympic Stadium. “The last guy I said was going to be great disrespected me. So I’m not going to say who’s going to be great. I’m just going to leave it to whoever shows up and is willing to fill my shoes will fill my shoes.
