EmailOlympics: Usain Bolt has revealed he plans to defend his Olympic sprint titles in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and not switch disciplines.
The Jamaican declared himself a “living legend” after retaining his 100 and 200 metres crowns in London this summer, as well as being a member of his country’s victorious 4x100m relay team.
He has previously hinted he could seek a new challenge in Rio, but today said: “I don’t want to try any different events at Rio, because at Rio I will just defend my titles to show the world that there is a possibility that I can do it again. To do the three-peat, that is the focus.”
