SPRINTER Usain Bolt insists he will be in “perfect condition” at the Rio Olympics after his recent injury worries.

    The Jamaican suffered a hamstring injury at the Olympic trials, putting his 100- and 200-meter title defenses in some doubt.

    However, Bolt has no questions over his fitness ahead of the showpiece 100m Aug. 13-14.

    “I feel good. I’ve been training more gently the past two weeks, but I’m happy to return,” he told Marca.

    “I had to visit the doctor [Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt], I had to travel and I had to train, but now I feel better and I’m running without any problems.

    “In Rio I will be in perfect condition.

    “I was in very good shape before this injury so I’m not worried.”

    Bolt is the 100m world-record holder, having set his mark of 9.58 seconds in Berlin in 2009.

    However, he has just the fourth-fastest time in the event this year, with American Justin Gatlin running 9.80 seconds and 9.83 seconds in 2016.

    But Bolt is typically confident, saying: “I won’t lose any gold.

    “If my coach says I can go to the Games and that I will win, then I trust him.

    “I think every runner who goes to the Games is strong,” he said.
