		</div><p>Usain Bolt has been included in Team Jamaica&#8217;s squad for the Rio Olympics despite his injury concerns.</p>
<p>The six-time Olympic champion suffered a hamstring tear at his country&#8217;s national trials at the start of July but was named in the 63-strong squad which was released by the Jamaica Olympic Association.</p>
<p>The 29-year-old, who will defend his 100m, 200m and 4x100m medals in Brazil this summer, was one of four Jamaican athletes who applied for medical exemption.</p>
<p>The Jamaica Administrative Athletics Association allows for medical exemptions if an athlete can show an injury denied them the chance to compete at the trials.</p>
<p>Fellow sprinter Elaine Thompson and hurdlers Janieve Russell and Hansle Parchment have also been granted exemptions, a statement on Team Jamaica&#8217;s website confirmed.</p>
<p>Bolt will look to prove his fitness and form at the Muller Anniversary Games in London which start on July 22.</p>
