Usain Bolt says the two golds he's won in London makes him a legend. So what happens if he adds another? One night after becoming the first man to win the 100 and 200 in back-to-back Olympics, Bolt will get started toward a quest for a sixth career gold medal in the preliminary round of the 4x100 on Friday. Bolt won all three events in Beijing, but the Jamaicans could have a tougher time this year. Asafa Powell is injured, meaning Warren Weir will likely take his place. That's not a bad backup. Weir won bronze in the 200 on Thursday. "Usain Bolt is truly an inspiration to everybody across the world," Weir says. "And I must say, it's well-deserved." — Jon Krawczynski — Twitter http://twitter.com/APKrawczynski ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.
