Jamaica's sprinting prodigy Usain Bolt confirmed that he would be on the start line for the men's Olympic 200 metres when that discipline gets underway with its heats on Tuesday 24 August.

Bolt who set a World junior record of 19.93 in April, to become the first teenager to run under 20 seconds, has since struggled with injuries, and as a result missed the IAAF World Junior Championships last month.

"I am not where I was when I ran the World junior record but I
am training well and I will definately be running," confirmed Bolt yesterday.
