Nassau (Bahamas) (AFP) – Six-time Olympic gold track medallist Usain Bolt said Saturday he was hoping to compete for Jamaica in both the 4×100 and 4x200m at next month’s IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas.

Bolt, who has anchored Jamaica to two Olympic titles and three world golds in the 4 x 100m relay, missed last year’s inaugural competition due to injury.

But the 28-year-old world 100 and 200m record holder said he would be going to the May 2-3 meet in Nassau with only one goal ahead of the World Athletics Championships in Beijing in August.
