Weighing and analyzing Usain Bolt’s dominance in both the 100m and 200m events over the years and also touching on the probabilities of him dominating further at this year’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – the newspaper did however admit that Bolt still has one more item to tick off on his list of achievements before fully embellishing his position as the greatest 200m athlete of all time.

“This is where history is going to be made, I’m excited to put on a show for the entire world to see”. “I feel the pain that we all feel at the moment because we love our sport”.

Wrestler Jordan Burroughs is counting the minutes to Rio.

“Personally, I feel I can go for the 200m record because there’s room for improvement to increase my speed”, said the Jamaican runner.

Usain Bolt dismissed suggestions about his impending retirement, saying his focus is fixed on attaining success at the Rio Olympics. I just have to go along with it.

Plans to overhaul the sport and make it more exciting have been sidetracked by the Russian doping scandal.

Widespread corruption at the heart of the IAAF, involving Coe’s disgraced predecessor Lamine Diack, was linked to shocking levels of institutionalised doping in Russian Federation, one of track and field’s powerhouses.

The lanky sprinter is among 59 track and field athletes in Jamaica’s 63-member delegation which was announced last week. Running from August 12-21, track and field will feature 2,000 athletes (1,100 men and 900 women), each country limited to three athletes for individual events and a maximum of six for the relays.

“I’m assuming Seb Coe has a plan”, said Bolt, who advocates more street races.

“In football you have the debate who is the best footballer, but no one can debate who the fastest man in the world is”, Bolt said.

Three fried egg sandwiches, an omelet, a bowl of grits, three pieces of french toast and three chocolate chip pancakes. that is what Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps used to eat for breakfast…every day. “It’s going to be a long time, I think, before somebody comes who will be as talented as me to break my records”.
