Six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt sets his sights on breaking his own 200m world record at this summer's Games in Rio.

Usain Bolt has set his sights on breaking his own 200m world record during this summer's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

The six-time gold medallist will be looking to win the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay events for the third Games in a row having been passed fit following a recent hamstring scare.

Bolt has always favoured the 200m event, and he is keen to break his world record of 19.19s, set in 2009 at the World Championships in Berlin.

"I'll definitely be there. This is where history is going to be made. I'm looking forward to going down there and doing my best and putting on a show for the whole world to see," he told reporters.

"I'm happy that I didn't get a really bad setback this season, it was up and down, but I could always train.

"I think the competition, the energy, the work they have to put in to win the 100m in Rio will help my 200m and that's really my focus, trying to break the 200m world record."

Bolt's fastest time since breaking the 200m world record is 19.32s at the London Olympics.
