Bolt works hard for Manchester street dash

KINGSTON, Jamaica: Jamaica's Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man, is working hard to regain his peak form ahead of a 150m street race on Sunday at Manchester.

Only four days after stitches were removed from his left foot following injuries from a car crash, Bolt was declared fit and ready to race in England by manager Norman Peart on Monday even as Bolt continued his intense workouts.

"Right now I'm trying to get back in shape because I missed a lot of training days," Bolt said. "I am doing a lot of work by myself ... just trying to do every little thing to get back my edge to go out and compete."
