Monaco DL Diary: Usain Bolt speaks at Monaco Press Conference

The Monaco DL press conferences are a fun set up. The pressers have about 30-40 attendees, with TV crews, global radio, TV and such. For Usain Bolt, there is always an amazing turn out. Sometimes those are quite frustrating.

Usain Bolt is in his last season as an elite athlete. He will race the 100 meters in Monaco, on Friday night, at the Stade Louis II. The stadium is a fun stadium to view an athletic meeting. The feeling in the Stade Louis II is that there is just one fantastic race after another. If you do not take a breath and watch the field events, you will miss them, even with Ryan Crouser, Renaud Lavillenie, and Mariya Lasitskene!

The pressers at Monaco are again, one of the finest, because the interviewer knows his stuff! This gentleman interviews at Paris as well and does onsite interviews in Lausanne!

Here is the entire presser for Usain Bolt. Bolt is an entertainer, and he knows what the media wants.
