Kingston: Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is hoping to seal a remarkable ‘Triple-Triple’ in the coming Rio Olympic games.

With less than 40 days to go before the Olympics, the sprint superstar is aiming to seal his ticket to Rio as he targets a defence of his 100 metres, 200m and 4x100m crowns.

Bolt was the gold medallist in all three events at the London 2012 Games.

The 29-year-old sprinter has broken his own recorod on June 11 by completing the 100 metres race in just 9.88 seconds at a meeting in Kingston.

Only France's Jimmy Vicaut, who clocked a wind-assisted 9.86 sec earlier in June, has run faster this season.
