Track and field: Bolt says he wants to try long jump


Associated Press

ZURICH — Jamaican sprint star Usain Bolt says he wants to try a new event — the long jump.

The world-record holder in the 100 and 200 meters says he thinks he could be a good long jumper some day.

Bolt says he has been "messing around" with the long jump since high school and would like to compete in the event before he retires.

While he's willing to try a new event, he says he has no plans to run the 400.
