Bolt wants to try long jump

The fastest man in the world Usain Bolt has revealed that he would like to try his hand at the long jump before the next Olympics.

Bolt, who won three golds at this summer's London Games, has said that he has plenty of options in athletics, including the 400m and the long jump.

"It's about making different goals. There's a lot of things I can do in the sport," BBC Sport quotes Bolt as saying.

"My coach wants me to do 400m, I want to try long jump."

Team GB long-jumper Greg Rutherford recently set the challenge for Bolt to try the sport.
