There were fears that the Jamaican sprint sensation would miss the Glasgow showpiece, which gets under way on July 23, despite the best efforts of the event's organisers.
Usain Bolt declares himself available to compete at the Commonwealth Games
Six-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt has declared himself available to compete at the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
A foot injury has disrupted Bolt's training schedule this year, but he is happy to be considered for selection for the Commonwealth Games.
However, the Olympic 100m, 200m and 4x100m champion has suggested that he will only take part in the relay.
He said in a statement on his official website: "I am not ready to compete at the Jamaican Championships this weekend but I have informed the JAAA (Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association) that I am available for selection for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and have submitted the relevant documentation.

"I do not wish to take the place of anyone who qualifies this weekend in an individual event but (I) am available for relay duty if the selectors feel I can be an asset to the Jamaican team in Glasgow.
"I have received lots of requests, invitations and messages of support from my fans in Scotland who are looking forward to a great event."
