Usain Bolt 2012 Olympic Schedule: Race Time and Dates for London 2012
Usain Bolt's schedule at the Olympics in London 2012 has already seen the world's fastest man ease through his first race in a time of 10.08 seconds. Below are details of all of Bolt's events and race schedules.
The time maybe isn't as fast as most as seeing him run, but it must be said he cruised for the last 20 to 30 meters of the race as he was well out front.
The Olympic Games has seen some fantastic contests so far, but London 2012 is set to be lit on fire by the sprints and millions around the world are waiting to see Usain Bolt.
What has made the 100 meter dash even more exciting is that the London Olympic stadium track in east London has proven to be super fast since the track and field events commenced on Friday, and many are predicting world records will fall en mass throughout the second week if the Games. Bolt is used to breaking world records, and he will be looking to defeat his own world record in the 100 meters.
Fans can look forward to seeing Bolt compete for three different gold medals.
Bolt is set to compete in the 100 meter dash, the 200 meter, as well as the 4x100 meter relay; all of which the Jamaican is a defending Olympic champion, as well as world record holder.
Jamaica and Bolt will be favorites for the 4x100 meter relay event. However, the relay has a history of springing up surprises, and many favorites in the past have found the pressure of the occasion too much for them.
For the two other individual races Bolt faces stiff opposition, especially from his Jamaican teammates, and many analysts are suggesting that Bolt will be unable to retain all three of his titles this year.
Bolt will have to be in his best form to ensure he takes the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter event. However, he is the man millions are most looking forward to seeing at this year's Olympic Games and he will be sure to receive one of the biggest cheers from the crowd, who will be willing him to cross the finish line in first, and hopefully in world record time. Yohan Blake and Asafa Powell will be Bolt's main threats in the 100 meter dash.
