Usain Bolt answers questions on whether he will run the 400m

Report by Mark Morris

Usain Bolt arrived back in Jamaica this week and immediately thanked his fans for their support at a "welcome home" press conference.

"I wouldn't say [it was] a bumpy ride but it wasn't a smooth season but with god, for me, I pushed through. I prayed a lot. I got a lot of prayers from all over the world. I got a lot of love on Facebook," Bolt said.

The sprinting "legend" also answered questions about whether he would run the 400m in Rio de Janeiro in four years time.

He said: "I'm hoping not.

"I'm trying to discourage my coach, but he's my coach."

"If he says 'let's do it' I'll do it but we'll see," he continued.

A celebration for Bolt and his fellow Jamaican Olympians is scheduled for October.
