London 2012: Usain Bolt is ready for games – doctor

“He has been tired mentally and physically and he has been really training very very hard over the last three weeks since our championships” said Dawes.

However, at a news conference in London yesterday Bolt admitted that he had recently been nursing an injury, a back problem that led to hamstring tightness.

But he said the issue has been corrected and he has been able to put together several weeks of intense training.

“It’s all about the championship,” he told Reporters. “I’m ready to go”.

Bolt holds the 100-metre world record of 9.58 and the 200-metre record of 19.19. The Olympics opening ceremony will take place Friday, while the 100-metre preliminaries will commence on August 4.
