Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest man, can’t wait to get running at the 13^th IAAF World Championships in Korea.

Today, the Jamaican athlete was put in front of the world’s media along with fellow medal hopefuls from the Jamaican track & field team ahead of the Championships starting in Daegu on Saturday.

And with teammate Asafa Powell pulling out of the 100m with a groin injury, the path looks clear for Bolt to strike Gold once more.

The three-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holder shared his appetite to win by stating: “I want to be considered one of the greatest athletes of all time, to do that I need to win the biggest events, and they don’t come much bigger than the World Championships. 

“The Diamond League season has gone pretty well for me and my coach and I have been working on some technical elements that I need to improve on to get back to my very best. 

 “But I feel in good shape, my training is going well and I’ve got good memories of running on this continent. I really want to get out there on the track, and win gold, and help Jamaica achieve a high position in the medal table.”

In Korea, Bolt will be joined on the track by fellow teammates and PUMA-sponsored athletes Lacena Golding-Clarke, Trecia-Kaye Smith, Maurice Smith and Jermaine Gonzalez.

Abundant with talent, the Jamaican Track and Field team is the one to watch, boasting winning hopefuls such as Yohan Blake, the 4^th fastest Jamaican runner in history; Melaine Walker, who has recorded the second fastest female 400m Hurdles time in history; and Veronica Campbell–Brown, winner of five Olympic medals.
