World and Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt has cancelled his
trip to Asia for races in China and South Korea later this month
because of fatigue, the Jamaican said on his website.
The triple Olympic and world champion was scheduled to run 100
metres races in Shanghai on September 20 and Daegu on September 25
after competing in a 200 metres at the world athletics final in
Thessaloniki, Greece this weekend.
"I have been suffering from fatigue... and after careful
discussions with my coach and management team, even with medical
advice, we felt it necessary to close the season," read a statement
on
www.usainbolt.com.
"The season has been long and has been challenging with early
challenges I faced. In addition the risk of injury becomes greater
and if I compete in the shape I am in, I may be at great risk," he
added.
