Six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt is reconsidering plans to retire after the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016 and is also desperate to be part of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year.

"I am definitely reconsidering [retiring after 2016]," he said. "I think my fans especially have really voiced their concern about me retiring.

"I have said to my coach that I would love to go to the Commonwealths," Bolt added. "My coach will think about it and I'll see what he says."
