The 29-year-old Jamaican is now putting the finishing touches to his preparations ahead of his first event, the 100m heats on August 13.

Bolt is the first man to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records. Along with his teammates, he also set the world record in the 4×100 metres relay.
