Bolt available to compete at this year's Glasgow Commonwealth Games

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has said that he is available to compete at this year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The six-time Olympic champion said that he was unlikely to take part in an individual event but could run in the relay.

Bolt, who won gold medals in the 100 metre, 200 metre and 4x100 metre relay at both the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, said that he is available for selection for the Commonwealth Games and has submitted the relevant documentation for the same, reports the BBC.

Bolt has been struggling with a foot injury and is not fit enough to attempt to qualify in the 100 metre and 200 metre at the Jamaican Championships this weekend.

Bolt also said that he does not wish to take the place of anyone who qualifies this weekend in an individual event, but is available for relay duty if the selectors feel that he could be an asset to the Jamaican team in Glasgow.

The Jamaican sprinter said that he has received lots of requests, invitations and messages of support from his fans in Scotland who are looking forward to a great event.
