The World`s fastest man, 27 year old Usain Bolt will be taking part in the Commonwealth Games to be held in Glasgow Scotland from July 23 to August 3.
After months of doubt, the Jamaican athlete who has been out of action in several events due to a foot injury confirmed his participation.
Bolt is unlikely to take part in an individual event but could run in the relay.
“I am available for selection for the Commonwealth Games and have submitted the relevant documentation,” Bolt said.
However, track and field’s greatest star is not fit enough to compete at this weekend’s
Jamaican Championships.
He added: ” I do not wish to take the place of anyone who qualifies this weekend in an individual event, but am available for relay duty if the selectors feel I can be an asset to the Jamaican team in Glasgow,” Bolt added in a statement on his website.
“I have received lots of requests, invitations and messages of support from my fans in Scotland who are looking forward to a great event.”
