Hurting Bolt raring for some relay redemption

LONDON - Usain Bolt will run in the 4x100m relay heats for Jamaica on Saturday despite being sore after winning bronze in the 100m final on the weekend, he said on Monday.

Bolt usually runs in the 200m individual event but opted not to compete at that distance in London, which is his last major championships before he retires, and the 30-year-old therefore has the scope to compete in the relay heats this time.

"We'll see. We haven't done any baton changes as yet with the guys, but I feel we are ready," the 11-time world sprint champion said of his team's chances.
