Usain says he is ready
USAIN Bolt has indicated that he is back to the form that saw him conquer the world in the last seven years just two days before he defends his 100m, 200m and 4×100 relay titles at the World Championship which starts later this evening in Beijing.
“The training is good, everything will come together. The coach is happy and once he is happy, I know I am in good nick, so I am ready to go,” he told over 300 journalists at a Puma/JAAA press conference yesterday.
Bolt was quizzed about his readiness to take on American Justin Gatlin who has been in tremendous form all season.
“I need to execute right now. I haven’t gotten any more races, but if I keep running through the rounds, I will get my body to run up to speed so I will be alright,” he added.
Bolt, a notorious slow starter, revealed to the world that his start has improved significantly.
“We have worked on that and in my last stop-start session on Wednesday last, coach was smiling. So thumbs up to me. But I am happy with the way everything has been going, so I am happy with that,” he added.
