Usain Bolt has reacted to his performances in the 100 metres at the London Anniversary games and is pleased with his work. Speaking after his victory he said:“I felt good. My coach was happy with my transition, I’m feeling happy with my start and my last 50m was good. But in the final I got a really bad start, I kind of lost focus for a minute and I lost my form but I got it back at the end. So it taught me a lot, these two races. I wasn’t looking for a specific time but I knew I could have gone faster if I had got the start I wanted. The key thing coming into this race was trying to get everything right on the track. The heats were good, but the finals not so good. Anything is possible in Beijing, it’s all about the effort you put in. I’ve been running fast in training, it is easier in training because you’re under no pressure and you can execute well. My coach has been happy with my technique and my work but it’s all about getting race-ready now.”

He how has four weeks to sharpen himself up and take on the opposition, which surely will be led by Justin Gatlin who has consistently ran around 9.74 seconds all season.
