World C’ship kept me from competing in Delhi: Bolt

GLASGOW: The Indian public were left high and dry when Usain Bolt decided to give Commonwealth Games in Delhi a miss four years back but the Jamaican legend on Saturday explained that it was the World Championship in 2011 that stopped him from taking part in the previous edition.

“I had always wanted to be in the Commonwealth Games and I had thought of taking part since 2006. I was injured before Melbourne Games and I missed it. Then Delhi Games happened in October-November at end of season and it was bad timing. I had Wolrd Championships coming up (in 2011) and so I did not make it to Delhi,” Bolt said.
