The Jamaican, who last month drew down the curtain on his
Olympic career by securing a sweep of the sprint titles for a
third successive Games, said his plan was to only contest the
100m in London but that his coach has other ideas.
"That's the plan, but I still have to discuss it with my coach,"
Bolt told Television Jamaica on Tuesday.
"(Glen Mills) still wants me to do the double, but I've told him
I would really like to just do the 100m, so at the start of the
season we'll decide exactly what (to focus on), but that's
what's on my mind."
Bolt has wild card entries for both the 100 and 200 meters at
the Aug. 5-13 world championships by virtue of winning both
events at last year's worlds in Beijing.
But Bolt, who set the 100 and 200 world records of 9.58 and
19.19 seconds in 2009, said he is not planning to top either of
those times.
"No (world records), it's all beyond me now, right now it is
just for me to go out there and leave with a big bang as much as
possible," said Bolt.
"I just want to go to the world championships, do my best as
always and stay on a certain level and that's the plan."
