Usain Bolt tonight

[islasmum]

There's a programme about Usain Bolt on BBC1 after the news at 10.35 - I should think that it will be very interesting - he always seems like a nice person when I've seen him interviewed. Anyone else going to watch it?

Thanks for the heads up, yes I will.
He does come over as a nice bloke with an awesome talent.
Hope he's not carrying an injury as he's been beaten by Blake twice recently.

Yes I've just finished watching it. I didn't know much about him but he's a nice guy with a lovely supportive family, dedicated to his sport. He makes it look so easy.

[ummmm]

I watched it. He came across very well.

I suppose he is a bit like Mohamad Ali was - confident - unlike Ali , a tiny bit cocky ( but in a nice way ).

Interesting that there are some in the game who dont think that he will repeat his Beijing success .

We will soon know - I hope however that he does not have a false start .

[Ric.ror]

Missed it but I like him cause he supports Manchester united

''Interesting that there are some in the game who dont think that he will repeat his Beijing success . ''

Blake beating him twice in the recent Jamaican trials is the best thing that could have happened to Bolt re his chances of winning at the Olympics.

Watched it, thought it was pretty good.

I'm glad I watched - I thought that he seemed to have a nice set-up with friends and family all being around him - hopefully he'll be really careful about his starts when racing in London.

His starts are the reason he's not even close to the times he was setting and is now beatable.
He is slow out of the blocks on normal meets so imagine what he'll be like in the Olympic final!

If you want a good bet for the athletics...Blake to break the 200m world record.
