"About the World Championships in Beijing, I'm just looking forward to coming here in China and duplicate what I did six years ago, just try to do great things, break world records and just enjoy because I know it's going to be full of energy and the crowds are going to be wonderful. When it comes to my world records, I don't know what's going to happen but I'm always going to go and try to run fast and I will try to do my best."
Bolt set a world record in the men's 200 metres final during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Retirement rumors have also been circulating around Bolt after the Jamaican sensation announced he wants to shift away from 100-meter events to 200 meters.
