Updated on

Summary Usain Bolt will defend his sprint titles at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.

Usain Bolt says he will be going for a three-peat of Olympic sprint titles in the 100 and 200 meters at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, rather than trying out a new event.After Bolt became the first man to successfully defend both sprint titles at the London Olympics, there was speculation he could switch to the long jump or 400 for a new challenge. However, the Jamaican world record holder said during a visit to New Zealand on Monday that his plan for 2016 is all about just going and defending my titles.He says I dont want to try any different events at Rio, because at Rio I will just defend my titles to show the world that there is a possibility that I can do it again, the three-peat. Thats the focus.
