Bolt,
who said in August that he was considering swapping sprinting for the long jump
to provide a fresh challenge ahead of the 2016 Games, said he had decided to
defend the titles he won in Beijing and London.
"Rio
is about going and defending my titles," the reigning 100m, 200m and
4x100m relay Olympic champion told reporters during a visit to New Zealand.
"I
don't want to try any different events at Rio because at Rio I will just defend
my titles to show the world that there is a possibility that I can do it again
-- to do the three-peat, that is the focus."
Speaking
a day after the West Indies overcame Sri Lanka in the World Twenty20 final to
claim their first world title in 33 years, Bolt said he loved cricket.
"It
was my first love but I don't play much now. The only time I play now is with
my brother," said the runner, who played junior cricket before turning to
track and earlier this year flirted with playing in Australia's domestic
Twenty20 league.
"If
I wasn't in athletics I would probably have a career somewhere else in
sport," he added.
