Bolt raring to go

On July 27, 2012

Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt has admitted he has shrugged off his injury problems and is raring to go for the London Olympics.

With the opening ceremony set to place in the nation’s capital on Friday night, anticipation surrounding the Games is growing by the hour.

One of the highlights of the competition over the next couple of weeks will be the 100m and 200m events, with Bolt set to compete in both.

The defending champion will have the likes of Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay to keep at bay but the 25-year-old is eager to get going.

He said: “This is the moment that is going to define my entire life.

“A lot of people say I am a legend, but this is going to define me as a legend.

“I think I am probably 95% fit but I am in great shape.”

Bolt is 8/11 to win the 100m in London and 1/2 to triumph in the 200m, with Yohan Blake 13/8 to come out on top in the shorter of the two sprints.
