The world record holder over 100 and 200 meters is joined in
the 53-member squad by Asafa Powell and Warren Weir, both world
championships sprint relay gold medalists.
Bolt answered questions over his fitness with a 100m season's
best of 9.87 seconds at the London Anniversary Games last month
while Powell ran his fastest 100 in four years to win the sprint
at the Paris Diamond League meeting in 9.81 seconds.
Rasheed Dwyer, who set a career best of 19.80 seconds over 200m
at the Pan American Games, also makes the squad.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the reigning sprint double champion
from Moscow two years ago, tops the list of female athletes and
is joined by former world 100 and 200m champion Veronica
Campbell-Brown.
The team will be accompanied by 19 officials including technical
leader Maurice Wilson and head coach Michael Clarke.
