Usain Bolt promises "great things" in Commonwealth Games

Jamaica sprinter Usain Bolt tells his fans to expect "great things" from him as he prepares to compete in the 4x100m relay at the Commonwealth Games.

Six-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt has promised his fans that they can expect "great things" from him in the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The Jamaica sprinter has fought back from foot surgery and a hamstring injury in order to make his debut at the Games ahead of the 4x100m relay at Hampden Park.

Despite missing some nine weeks of training after his operation in March, the 27-year-old remains as confident as ever and promises to put on a show for his fans - and his competitors.

"I'm going there for my fans and I'm going there to show I'm getting back into shape and they can look for great things now and for the years to come," he told the Daily Record.

"I've really wanted to run at the Commonwealth Games over the years and although I got injured I'm getting back into shape to actually compete in the 4x100m."

The Games get underway at 8pm tonight.
