ATHLETICS:Usain Bolt is aiming to "wow" the world with his performances at the Olympics.
Bolt got back into the groove on Thursday night with victory in the Rome Diamond League 100 metres in 9.76 seconds, the fastest time in the world this year.
It was his fourth fastest time ever, with the previous three all world records.
Bolt will draw inspiration from London’s Jamaican community during the Olympics, and he warned rivals like Tyson Gay and Yohan Blake that his Italian job was just the start
“I know I can go faster because this is the start of the season,” said Bolt yesterday in London.
“I have a long way to go. I’m really looking forward to competing here. I haven’t competed in London for a while so I’m really looking forward to it.
“I never doubt my ability, never. People forget, and I keep explaining to people, that athletes have bad days,” he said.
“Every athlete can – cricket, football, any sport – you have bad days and that was just one of mine and I got past it and now I’m just moving forward.”
