London - Arabstoday

Usain Bolt will feel right at home at the Olympics this summer as he says the Jamaican community in London will help spur him on to repeat his exploits in Beijing. Bolt has the hardest of all acts to follow as he somehow tries to match his triple gold medal and world record performances of four years' ago, when he claimed 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay gold in historic fashion. Bolt now has to defend those titles in London this summer, but he says the warmth of reception he expects will help him in his quest to match his phenomenal performances in China. The 25-year-old has always seemed to love the limelight, and he will have top billing as the Olympics roll into London this summer. That has never been a problem for Bolt, and he says the attention he will receive from everyone in the country, along with a special welcome from London's Jamaican community will spur him on to big things. Enjoy "I've been waiting for this summer for four years so I'm going to enjoy every moment and put on a show for everybody around the world," Bolt told Reuters. "The Olympic Games is going to be a massive thing for me and I'm really looking forward to it. It is going to be bigger for me than for most people because there are a lot of Jamaican people living in London. I know they will be going crazy so I have to put on a show. "People know me in London really well so I am expecting lots of support there and I am looking forward to entertaining the crowds. But the place I am most recognised is in Asia. I think any athlete who goes there gets mobbed. "It will be the same in London with the Jamaican people, but if I'm getting lots of attention, I'm happy." Bolt has already made friends with the country's royalty after 'racing' Prince Harry recently in Jamaica, and his laid-back demeanour continues even when in the high-pressured environment of a major 100m final. Daegu DQ His composure did not stop him from false-starting in the World Championships final though, allowing Yohan Blake to take gold in Daegu, but Bolt insists he will still stay cool in London. Not a sign of cockiness, Bolt says he is always relaxed on the start line as long as he has done everything he possibly could in training to be as prepared as possible to run fast, as he continues his pursuit of legendary status. "People don't always realise it, but I am training very seriously and very hard because I want to be a legend," he added. "For me, my confidence is all about staying in good shape. If I'm in good shape, my confidence is really high, I feel at the top of my game and I don't really worry. "That's when you see me dancing and having fun. But if I'm not in my best shape, then I don't feel so good and I'll be a little worried. For a lot of last year I wasn't at my best. But this year I feel good and I know that as long as I'm at my best, I'll be OK."
