Bolt continued his preparations for next month's Rio Olympics by easing to victory in 200m at the Anniversary Games in London last week.

The 29-year-old clocked 19.89secs to win the 200m at the London’s Olympic Stadium – almost four years since he won the 100m, 200m and 4x100m crowns.

Bolt said after his win: "I’m feeling good. I’m not fully in shape and I need more work but I will be fine. The key thing is I’m injury free and can now defend my three titles.

“I was here to win. I needed a 200m because I haven’t run one all season and was disappointed I didn’t get to race in the trials. But I know what shape I’m in now."
