Bolt eyes '3-peat' at Rio Games

By Reuters in London | China Daily | Updated: 2012-10-10 06:49

Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt has set his sights on defending his three titles at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro rather than switching to another event, the six-time gold medalist said on Monday.

The 26-year-old Jamaican said his coach would like him to take up the 400m and Bolt, wary of up-and-coming sprinters like teammate Yohan Blake, has spoken of trying the long jump.

Bolt said he had reached "legend" status after becoming the first man to retain both the 100 and 200m Olympic titles at the London Games and that he needed to make another goal.
