Usain Bolt Set to Return to Action at Commonwealth GamesPublished by
Bolt Fit and Raring to Go in GlasgowPublished by Reuters on July 22, 2014
Six-times Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt says he ready to put on a good show in the sprint relay at the Commonwealth Games after recovering from minor foot surgery and a hamstring injury. The Jamaican, who missed nine weeks of training after surgery on his left foot in March, told Reuters he is back in sub 10-second shape after training twice a day to get ready for the event in Glasgow which starts on Wednesday “It’s been rough, but I’ve been through it a couple times so I know what it takes to get back so I’m just pushing on and working toward what’s necessary for this season,” Bolt told Reuters on Tuesday morning during a training session. His coach Glen Mills said that twice a day workouts were necessary to get Bolt ready to compete after he missed a lot of foundation work. “We usually train in the morning when it is necessary, but it’s not the routine,” Mills said, noting that this year’s setback was a bit more severe than 2012 leading up to the London Olympics. “Usain has lost quite a significant amount of training time and in his desire to at least run a couple races in the summer, in order to get in the sufficient amount of sessions, we have to double up training morning and evening,” Mills said.
