It took
Usain Bolt 9.63 seconds to capture gold in the men's 100-meter race .What are
you doing with your own ten seconds? What Jamaica and the rest of the world is
celebrating is a result of an effort that took years of hard practice. Before the
under ten minutes London Olympic battle Bolt
started with a vision, turned into an action and now it is a living reality and
a mark of success. Thousands are inspired, millions will be transformed and
billions will believe .More people will take athletics seriously, they will believe,
generations to come will stand up and do the Usein Bolt traditional signature
diagonally pointing up into the sky like a superhero.Usain Bolt has fulfilled
his dream of becoming a “legend” of the sport by successfully defending his
Olympic 100m title in stunning style in London. Bolt was only fifth quickest
out of the blocks but was quickly into his running and stormed to victory in
9.63 seconds, the second quickest in history and an Olympic record.
In an
interview with the BBC News Bolt had the following inspirational worlds to say:
“I was happy,” he told BBC1. “When I went out in the first
round I felt I could do this.
“I
was slightly worried about my start, I didn’t want to false start again.
“I
think I sat in the blocks a little bit so I don’t think it’s the best reaction
in the world but I executed and that was the key.
“My
coach said, ’stop worrying about the start, the best part of your race is at
the end, that’s where you rule’.
“So
I stopped worrying about the start and I executed.”
Asked
about the people who had doubted him, Bolt said: “I’m not concerned. I’ve said
it from the start, people can talk, all they can do is talk.
“I
tell you people that when it comes to the championships it’s all about business
to me and I brought it.”
Bolt
enjoyed the atmosphere of the Olympic Stadium.
“It
was wonderful,” he said. “I knew it was going to be like this. There wasn’t a
doubt in my mind that it was going to be loud and it was going to be great and
you can feel that energy.
“So
I feel extremely good and I’m happy.”
Bolt’s
oft-stated hopes of becoming a legend had looked in doubt after he lost twice
to Blake at the Jamaican trials and needed treatment on a stiff back which was
causing hamstring problems.
From
the above conversation ,one is challenged to have self examination on what we
do with our time ,on what the last tem minutes we have spent could have meant
to the world .Bolt only had a few minutes and he successfully converted them to
a world record .Remember that if Bolt did it ,you can also bolt with thunder.Be inspired ,follow your dreams and stay motivated for greatness no matter how many eyes are looking at you .
