Fit Again! Usain Bolt declared "Good to Go" for London

-
Any fears a less than fit Usain Bolt would cause an anti-climax to London's highest billed event, have been laid to rest.

Bolt's agent Ricky Simms has declared the Olympic sprinter is "back to normal, back in full training and good to go."

Concerns for the Jamaican sprint genius were heightened last month after his defeats at the national trials and subsequent withdrawal from Monaco's Diamond League meet.  His recent visit to Germany for treatment by renowned sports doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt further fueled speculations  that all is not well.



But Simms maintains the world record holder's problems are now behind him and reports Bolt has made a full recovery from muscle tightness. Bolt is said to be training normally at his usual European base during the summer and would be remaining there until he joins up with his countrymen at Jamaica’s pre-olympic base in Birmingham a few days before the opening ceremony. Of course we are fully aware this could just be a ploy to calm injury fears, but I must admit talks of injury this close to Olympics, would certainly jeopardize one of the biggest showdowns in London. Meet organizers and track fans must be breathing a sigh of relief.

So what do you think? Is the "King" fully fit or is the men's100m really as wide open as U.S. sprinter Tyson Gay seems to think it is?  We shall see!
