Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has announced that he will kickstart his 2016 campaign next month when he will run his first 100 metres of the season in the Cayman Invitational Meet.

The six-time Olympic gold medallist will run at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex on May 14 in Grand Cayman as part of his preparations for the Rio Olympics in August, Sport24 reported.

Despite enduring an injury-disrupted season last year, Bolt claimed all three sprint titles (100m, 200m and 4x100m) at the World Athletics Championships.

He has also confirmed that he will return to the London Anniversary Games in July in a bid to warm up for the Olympics.
