London: Triple Olympic champion and world’s fastest man Usain Bolt has said that he wants to “amaze” the world at London 2012 by running 9.4 seconds for the 100m and 19 seconds for the 200m.
Talking on the BBC1 programme 100 Days To Go, said that people were looking forward to him running 9.4, 19 seconds running anything that’s amazing.
“So I’m working as hard as possible so I can go as fast as possible,” 25-year-old Jamaican athlete said.
Bolt added that more performances, such as the ones that saw him take three gold medals at the 2008 Olympics, would make him “a living legend”.
Bolt is the reigning Olympic champion and world-record holder over both distances, with times of 9.58secs and 19.19secs.
“They want to see my personality, me enjoying it and doing crazy stuff, but they also want to see that time,” he said.
“If I dominate the Olympics, I’ll be a living legend. A living legend walking around. Sounds good.”
