As you all may or may not know, ’tis the season for the Olympic trials in various of the participating nations in London 2012! Recently, Jamaican track star Usain Bolt( fastest man in the WORLD and hold the current world record for the event) was upset by Yohan Blake in the 100 m Jamaican trial! Usain, taking second place , seems even more motivated than ever to excel with his fellow countrymen in London. Reportedly saying “I lost focus” (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/olympics-fourth-place-medal/usain-bolt-says-movement-blocks-distracted-him-ill-224827251–oly.html)
It looks like Mr. Bolt will have his shot at redemption today:
“Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake sauntered through their 200 meters semi-finals on Saturday to set up another rematch and an explosive finish to the Jamaican Olympic trials.
The men’s 200m on Sunday will provide the grand-finale to the four-day meeting that could prove even more dramatic than their 100m showdown won by Blake, as the two fastest men ever over the distance go head-to-head for a last time before London.“
