”If I decide to compete at next year’s Commonwealth Games, I would probably only run the 200,” Usain Bolt has revealed.
The six-time Olympic champion hopes to participate in Glasgow, but will discuss it with his coach Glen Mills.
The Jamaican who has never won a Commonwealth medal in an interview with the BBC said: “we are going to discuss it, we are not fully sure if I will go but throughout the season we will decide if that will be a good thing to do”.
Bolt came to prominence with victory in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, repeating same in London four years later.
He now aims to complete the ‘treble treble’ by winning all three disciplines at the 2016 Games in Rio to cement his legend status.
“That would be outstanding for me,” said Bolt. “I’ve done so much so far and to go and to defend my titles once more would just set me apart from a lot of athletes.
“I want my name in stone with many other athletes – [boxer] Mohammed Ali, [runner] Michael Johnson, [basketball player] Michael Jordan – all these greats in their different sports.
Bolt says he would need to train if he were to face Britain’s Mo Farah in a 600m challenge race.
