Many doubted whether Usain Bolt would turn up for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, having skipped the last two editions and being sidelined with a left foot injury earlier in the year.
The individual sprints were avoided, but the world’s fastest man made it clear that he craved a Commonwealth gold in his already illustrious medal haul.
Bolt raced ahead of England in a games-record 37.58 seconds as the six-time Olympic gold medallist became a Commonwealth champion for the first time.
But it is likely to be the last one at a Commonwealth Games for Bolt, who plans to retire after the 2017 World Championships — before Australia’s Gold Coast hosts the games in 2018. (MK)
