Bolt faces a key stage of his fitness recovery when he races for the first time since pulling out of the Jamaican trials with a hamstring strain.

"I'm good, I'm feeling good, been training good now, I'm happy with where I am," he said. "My hamstring is good, I have no issue right now. I know I'm in a good shape."

The 29-year-old has set his sights on 'triple triple' of Olympic crowns. "I'll definitely be there, I'm excited to go," Bolt said of the Olympics. "This is where history is going to be made, I'm excited to put on a show for the entire world to see. This is my final Olympics, and it's a big one."
