Usain Bolt says he is focusing on the world championships even as he prepares to run his first 200-meter race in 13 months at a Diamond League event in Oslo.
The Jamaican world record holder said Wednesday it will feel "weird" to run the 200, but having recovered from last season's injuries he is confident of running a fast race at the Bislett Games on Thursday.
South African middle-distance runner Caster Semenya also is competing as she seeks to move on from having to undergo a gender test following her victory in the 800 at the 2009 worlds.
Forced to sit out a year, Semenya says it was tough to bounce back but is now starting to rediscover her best form.
The worlds run from Aug. 27 to Sept. 4 in South Korea.
