After a week of waiting, Usain Bolt is ready to take London by storm, the same way he did in Beijing in 2008. The Jamaican sprinter set world records in the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay, an accomplishment that had never been done before. Now he gets to hit the fast track in Olympic Stadium.

This time he comes into the games having lost to teammate Yohan Blake in the 100 and 200 at the Jamaican trials. Throw in Americans Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay in a blink-and-you'll-miss-them field of sprinters, and this promises to be quite a showdown.

"I'm thinking this could easily be one of the fastest 100 meters anybody has ever seen, because these guys have shown a lot of potential throughout the season," Bolt says. "There are guys that have been running fast, especially because it's an Olympic year."
