The Jamaican dismissed weekend reports he did not intend be in the capital in three years' time to try to retain the 100metres and 200metres gold medals he won with such style in Beijing.

"It is always great to go and defend your title. I could never have said that," said the 22-year-old. "That would be a great feat for me. I want to be a legend and if I am going to be a legend that would be a milestone for me."

The Jamaican notched up another milestone yesterday when he ran the fastest time over 150m in the Bupa Great CityGames sprint.

He set a new best time of 14.35 seconds - smashing the previous world's best by 0.40secs.

Bolt, who broke both the 100m and 200m records before anchoring his nation to the 4x100m relay title in Beijing last summer, insists he is a long way from firing on all cylinders.

And that sends out a serious message to anyone looking to compete with the triple Olympic medallist at the World Championships in Berlin this summer.

"I think I'm probably 70% so I really have to buckle down. I still have a lot of work to do but I am getting there," added Bolt.

"I think this has helped because I haven't run a serious race all season. I think I could go faster because I'm not in the best of shape and I slipped at the start. I could have gone faster.

"I am hoping by Berlin I will be 100%. I don't try to peak before and I try to work towards it race by race."
