Jamaica's Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt has confirmed he will run his last race on home soil at next year's Racers Grand Prix.
The 30-year-old will compete in next year's world championships in London before retiring from the sport having won nine Olympic gold medals.
"The Racers Grand Prix will be my last race in Jamaica people, it will be the last time I run in Jamaica," Bolt told Television Jamaica's "Smile Jamaica" morning magazine programme.
“I am definitely going to retire after the World championships in London [4-13 August 2017], that will be my last one,” said Bolt.
Bolt secured a sweep of the three men's sprint titles for a third successive Olympics when Jamaica successfully defended their 4x100 metres relay title to add to his 100m and 200m victories.
His ninth gold medal drew him level with Paavo Nurmi, the Finn who dominated distance running in the early 20th century, and American sprinter and long jumper Carl Lewis as the most successful Olympic track and field athletes.
