Bolt proud of 'greatest' tag

Olympic champion Usain Bolt believes he is the greatest as he prepares to end his career at next year's World Championships.

The Jamaican completed the triple-triple at Rio 2016, taking his tally of Olympic gold medals to nine.

Along with his Games success, he is an 11-time world champion and world-record holder in the 100 metres, 200m and 4x100m.

Asked if he was now the greatest, Bolt replied: "Yes, I definitely think so. I've really put my all into it.

"I really worked hard to accomplish the greatness that I have done so I am really proud of myself and accomplishments that I have done so I am really happy about it."

Bolt, 30, is set to retire after the World Championships in London in August.
