Usain Bolt has warned his rivals that he can go faster still and admits London 2012 would be the perfect place to break his 100m and 200m world records.

Triple Olympic champion Bolt smashed his own world records at the 2009 world championships in Berlin, but struggled with an Achilles injury last season.

However, he believes he can go faster still and claims he has not yet reached his peak.

"As long as I am in shape my coach says I am not going to peak until I am 26 so that is not until next year and I am looking forward to that," Bolt told Sky Sports. "I think I can go faster, especially in the 200m - there is a bit more room for improvement in that event.

"If I am going to break my record again [London] is the place to do it. There is going to be a lot of Jamaicans there and it will be really exciting for me. It will be like I am at home - with the crowd pushing me the record should go."
