Usain Bolt eyes 2017 worlds after relay gold at Commonwealth Games
Fastest man on the planet says he will continue to race beyond the 2016 Olympics after running the anchor leg for Jamaica at Glasgow event
Six-times Olympic champion Usain Bolt stole the show at the Commonwealth Games by anchoring Jamaica to relay gold and then repeated his intention to continue competing until the world championships in 2017.
The world's fastest man had planned to retire after the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games but reiterated comments made last September that he could delay those plans for another year.
I've always said that after Rio I wanted to retire but they keep saying I should go on till 2017, so I think I might just do that and that will be my last championships
"I've always said that after Rio I wanted to retire but they keep saying I should go on till 2017, so I think I might just do that and that will be my last championships," Bolt said.
He was speaking after picking up gold in the 4x100 metres relay, his first Commonwealth Games medal.
"This training thing is not so easy so I'm just so happy I've been able to do what I wanted in this sport," he added.
The 27-year-old Bolt is an eight-time world champion and holds the 100 and 200 metres world records.
