Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt who was scheduled to run this Saturday at the Jamaica International Invitational Meet is out because of a slight hamstring strain, his agent said on Tuesday.


While training over the weekend Bolt felt the tightness in training over the weekend and after consulting with Coach Glen Mills decided not to risk anything at this early stage of the season, agent Ricky Simms told Reuters.


Simms also stated...

"It's a small strain and he's hoping to be OK for next week but you know it's day by day ... maybe for the two or three days. It just a problem of sprinting,"


Simms also stated that the injury was not serious and that Bolt should be ready to compete in 100 meter run on May 8 at the Cayman Islands Meet.

"I am disappointed to miss the Kingston meet as I love running in front of my home crowd in Jamaica," Bolt said in a statement. "I'm told it is only a grade one strain so hopefully I will be OK soon."
