Jamaican sprint sensation Usain Bolt is back from an injury-blighted season and fully ready to soar to the heights that saw him set world records in both the 100 and 200m.
The six-time Olympic gold track medallist skipped a large part of last season with a nagging foot injury, but said he was gearing up nicely towards defending his sprint titles at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing in August.
"I have no pain," said Bolt ahead of this weekend's second World Relays in the Bahamas, adding that he saw his doctor every three months to "keep everything in line".
"The main thing is to avoid injuries this season and go to the world championships.
"I'll be happy to go back to Beijing, that's where it all started," he said in reference to the first of his Olympic treble gold haul at the 2008 Summer Games, mirrored four years later in London.
Bolt, who admitted that his social life had taken a back seat -- "I try to limit myself as much as possible" -- said his focus was getting in proper, competitive track time after his enforced absence.
"I'm in great shape, I can't complain," said the 29-year-old, who has anchored Jamaica to two Olympic titles and three world golds in the 4x100m relay.
"It's all about races now. All I need now is to get a lot of races in and over time I'll get better and better and better. It's all about running."
He added: "Training and competing are two different things. The fact I wasn't competing wasn't good for me.
"So this season I've started off not at the pace I wanted, but I knew it was going to be like this because I wasn't competing last season. But I am competing early and getting some races in, which is very good leading up to the world championships.
