I am just focussed on winning the gold medal: Usain Bolt

At 25, Usain Bolt already has the world mesmerised at his feet. he has the legacy of three new world records in all three events at Beijing Olympics and that the only place he can go is down, , says a report in Hindustan Times.

One would figure that that plays on his mind. But the fastest man in the world is quick to brush that aside. "I won’t say pressure is anything. For me, I am just focussed on winning. To win a gold medal — that’s the focus. I am not focussed on what others are doing, I am just focussed on what we need to do and I am just going to win."

But would coming second be the end of the world for him? He doesn't hesitate a moment before he says that number two does not even exist in his scheme of things:  "For me coming to a championship, I am not going to even think about losing. I know what it takes to be a champion. I have been to this stage a couple of times, so I know what it takes. All I need to do is get it done."

Meanwhile according to a report in The Hindu, Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt's dream of completing the 100m in 9.4 sec is feasible, according to a Dutch mathematical study whose findings were unveiled on Wednesday.

As the Jamaican prepares to defend his Olympic title in London, and also better his world mark of 9.58sec, the authors of a Tilburg University study concluded he could realise his objective of shaving another two tenths of a second off his current record.

“Usain Bolt has said he is targeting 9.4sec for the 100 metres and according to our results this is achievable as the absolute limit for a world record at the moment is 9.36 sec,” said one of the study authors, Sander Smeets.
