BRUSSELS -- Usain Bolt says he plans to retire from sprinting after the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Bolt said Wednesday that he wants to win more gold in Rio, break his world record in the 200 meters next year, and perhaps win a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.

"So far, [it] is after the Olympics in Rio," Bolt said of his retirement plans. "I think if I am in great shape, I'll go there and do what I have to do. I think it will be a good time to retire on top."

Winning another three golds in Moscow last month made Bolt the most decorated athlete in world championship history with eight golds and two silvers. He has six Olympic gold medals.

"If I want to be among the greats of [Muhammad] Ali and Pele and all these guys, I have to continue dominating until I retire," Bolt said ahead of his final race this season in the 100 at Friday's Van Damme Memorial.

Bolt won the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and at last year's London Games. He won the same triple at the 2009 worlds before repeating that feat in Moscow last month.

At 27, Bolt has the experience to know that a lax season midway between Olympics can hurt him. In 2010, a soft entry into the year and subsequent injury cost him almost a full season.

"I kind of didn't do much in the offseason and then got injured and had to start from scratch," he said. "So this season, I will not make that mistake again."

Like 2010, next season has no major championships, but Bolt is thinking of new goals for 2014.

He already owns the 100 and 200 world records and shares the 4x100 with his Jamaican teammates. He acknowledges the 100 record of 9.58 seconds will be extremely tough to better, but he hopes to improve on the 19.19 he ran in the 200 in Berlin four years ago.
