Bolt confident of Moscow hat-trick
Usain Bolt believes he is on track to repeat his Olympic treble at
this year's World Athletics Championships in Moscow.
Bolt, who sealed his place in the history books when he became the
first man to successfully defend both his 100m and 200m Olympic titles
at London 2012, wants to repeat the feat in Russia this summer with
victory in both sprint events as well as the 4x100m relay.
The Jamaican had suggested he would consider switching to the 400m or
long jump for the Rio Olympics in 2016, but has since reiterated his
commitment to the sprint events.
Bolt, who surrendered his 100m title to training partner Yohan Blake
at the 2011 World Athletics Championships after he was disqualified for
a false start in the final, has confirmed his participation at the
Bislett Games Diamond League meeting in Oslo on June 13.
"The aim for 2013 is the IAAF World Championships in Moscow in
August," Bolt said. "My goal is to win three gold medals and repeat my
Olympic Games success.
"My preparations have been good this autumn, I am injury free,
working hard and everything is according to plan. I hope to come to
Bislett prepared and ready to run a great race." ESPN |
