Usain Bolt is healthy, per his manager, Ricky Simms. We just caught up at the AVIVA London press conferences, and Ricky wanted our readers to know that one of their favorite athletes will be ready to run in London. The 100 meters and 200 meters are shaping up to be tremendous events.

BOLT
IN GOOD SITUATION

LONDON
(GBR): Usain Bolt’s agent revealed that the triple Olympic champion has made a full
recovery from muscle tightness that hampered him at the Jamaican Olympic trials
and is training normally and “good to go” to defend his titles in London. Ricky
Simms said for Daily Telegraph the problem was nothing more serious than a tight
hamstring and said that he was fully recovered and training normally. He added
that Bolt was now in London, 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 before a few days before opening ceremony.
The decision of the coach not to compete before the Games remains valid.
