Warning! Faster, more dangerous Bolt at London Olympics

November 15, 2011 17:28

On the Times, London: Usain Bolt is back and this time he is serious. The newly crowned athlete of the year said that he would enter Olympic lockdown in January as he focuses on what would be a remarkable four-gold salvo.

The triple Olympic champion's manager, Ricky Simms, said that he will shun all commercial duties as he targets four titles in London.

Bolt has flirted with the idea of broadening his palette before, talking wistfully of the long jump, but this time he means it. He is considering doing the 4 x 400 metres relay, as well as his traditional 100, 200 and 4 x 100 metres treble. "If I can help to get them [Jamaica] a gold medal, I will want to go on that team," Bolt said.
