Winning gold in the Olympics is an athlete's greatest dream. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
Usain Bolt has already achieved that dream three times. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
This year, at the 2012 Olympics, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
he has the chance to go one step further. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Bolt could be the first sprinter in history to win gold in the 100, 200 | 0:00:12 | 0:00:17 | |
and 100-metre relay in two consecutive Games. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
If he does it, he'll become one of the greatest Olympians who ever lived. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
But in athletics, there are no guarantees. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
'On your marks.' | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
'Set.' | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
GUNSHOT | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Usain is back in training after being injured for several months. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
His schedule is way off track. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
The World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
are just six months away. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |

I've known him 20 years. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
I've known him since I was a child, very young. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
When we were at primary school, the first grade, | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
I'm NJ and his nickname was VJ. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
I'm a teacher. I can teach history or social science. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
Right now, I'm dealing with his affairs, as his assistant manager. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
# This is my time... # | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
Yeah, our signature rap! | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
# ..This is my time... # | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
BOTH TALK AT ONCE | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
Usain lives in Jamaica's capital, Kingston. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
Whassup? Whassup? Whassup? Whassup? | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
He lives here in a house which he shares with a group of mates, | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
including his childhood friend NJ. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
11, 12. VJ, go down. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
Rest! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
-Hard? -Everything feels hard. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
-It's never an easy day. -Do you need your friends to do this? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
They're trying to lose weight for the girls. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
It's not working, though. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
Set, go! | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
And a quick start by Usain Bolt! And he stumbled! | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
What can you say about that? | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Look at Usain Bolt! | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
That's 7.4. It's not bad. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
But Usain Bolt is still there! | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
And it's Usain Bolt! | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Oh, my God! | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
That's 7.2. A little bit slower than the first one. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
Can Usain Bolt catch up? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
Can he stay...? He stumbled! Usain Bolt! | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
Oh, my God! That's 8.8! | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Can he make it? Look at the finish. Look at him! | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
Oh, my God! | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
A new world record! | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
29.25! | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
A new world record for Usain Bolt. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
This is dinner. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
He's the master. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
A former athlete, but now a chef. He's the man. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
Coach tells him what I should get in my diet and he makes sure it happens. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
In the evening, it's open house at the Bolt residence. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
His brother Sadeeki, some old friends | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
and a few of Jamaica's finest athletes gather | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
for a game of dominoes. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
That's as wild as it gets. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
Usain hasn't always lived in Kingston. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
He grew by three hours away in Jamaica's rural north-west. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
The fastest man in the world | 0:07:05 | 0:07:06 | |
was born in the sleepy village of Sherwood Content, | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
where time seems to have stood still. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
It's wonderful in the morning, waking up. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
That's why I love going back home. It's peaceful. You can relax. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
Breathe in some fresh air. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
The Bolt family still live in the house where Usain was born | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
on 21st August, 1986. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
When, of course, when Usain was born, | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
I was happy that he was a boy, of course. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
I always wanted a boy then. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
He was big. He was a big baby. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
He weighed 9.5lbs. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
And the nurse said, this guy looked like he was on the earth | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
for quite a few months before he was born. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
He's the type of person who doesn't sit down. He always keeps moving. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
And then the doctor said he was hyperactive. Too many energy. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
He had to use it up. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
It was free. We could be wherever we wanted to go, the river - | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
it was unrestricted. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
His mother, she overprotected. She loved him too much. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
Sometime if he do anything wrong, she might hide it from me | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
because she didn't want him to get a spanking. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
Usain didn't always want to be an athlete. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
As a child, he had a different passion. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
When we were growing up, cricket was his sport. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Brian Lara, Courtney Walsh, Curtly Ambrose. Cricket was a passion. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
He did want to be a cricketer. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
He played cricket and tracks at primary school. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
But we decided the future, and we said, "Well... | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
"I think it's best for him to do tracks." | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
He didn't look like the rest of the youngsters. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
Just the way he was built, | 0:08:39 | 0:08:40 | |
he looked different than the others. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
He was taller than them, very skinny. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
He stood out from the crowd. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
Following his father's advice, | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
Usain turned his back on his first love, cricket, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
and focused his energies on sprinting. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
In 2001, aged just 14, | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
he entered his first international competition in Hungary. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
The main thing was the way he ran. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
He was upright with his strides | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
and his knees were always coming up very high. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
Bolt won the heats, but was eliminated in the semi-final. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
The defeat didn't matter. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
Bolt had proved what his father believed, | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
that he had huge potential as a sprinter. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
His talent on the track didn't go unnoticed. The next year, | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
he was selected for the World Junior Championships in Kingston. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
Just 15, | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
Bolt lined up against athletes three to four years his senior. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
He didn't want to go because he said | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
he just didn't think he could beat those guys, you know? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
But he was persuaded by his grandmother and his mother. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
He started to cry and we told him that he shouldn't worry about that. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:57 | |
He's going out there and whatever is done, we'll accept it. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
He dried up his tears | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
and the next morning, he was out. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
COMMENTATOR: 'On the outside, Kluczynski going very well. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
'Kluczynski on the outside. Usain Bolt of Jamaica takes the lead | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
'in the 200 final, heading towards a gold medal. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
'Usain Bolt is the World Junior Champion!' | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
The crowd started to roar | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
and everybody was just shouting, "Bolt! Bolt!" | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
I became the lightening bolt of the world. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
That was still and will always be my greatest moment. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
That was my first move, a salute to the crowd. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
People loved it. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
They were, "Raaar!" | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:10:37 | 0:10:38 | |
I remember everything about it. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
I would like to say to my mother and my father I love them | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
and I'm glad they always pushed me to do my best. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
Usain St Leo Bolt of Sherwood Content, Trelawny, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-you must be very contented. God bless you. -Thank you. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
That race won him instant national recognition. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
Overnight, Bolt became the new star of Jamaican sprinting. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
The Jamaican Boys and Girls Championships, | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
better known as the Champs. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
Described as the world's finest talent-spotting event, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
this inter-schools competition has been putting young Jamaican athletes | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
to the test for over 100 years. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
WILD CHEERING | 0:11:24 | 0:11:25 | |
Bolt arrives at the Champs to meet his biggest fans. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
Bolt. Bolt. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
-That's all right. -Sorry, sorry. -Don't worry about it. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
INDISTINCT COMMENTARY | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Usain ran in the Champs when he was 16. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
He won the 200 metres and then, running in driving rain, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
knocked more than a second off the Jamaican record in the 400 metres. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
Usain Bolt, champion last year, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
comes through to win. Takes it | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
in a flash time of 45.4. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
Usain Bolt. Too quick for everyone at 45.4. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
New Champs record! | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
CHANTING: Usain! Usain! | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
WILD CHEERING | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
Usain ended his 2003 season | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
as one of the world's top 10 athletes in the 200 metres. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
Foreign sponsors and American colleges | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
began queueing up to sign him. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
I was really close to my mum. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
I'd never really lived for long away from my parents, | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
only like, a week, maybe a weekend. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
I was always with my parents. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
For me to go and live somewhere else by myself, was going to be hard. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
For me, I didn't want to go. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:20 | |
Instead of going overseas, Usain chooses | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
the Athletics Centre in Kingston. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
For a teenager from a small village, it's still an enormous leap. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
It was really hard, knowing that he was so young, | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
moving into Kingston, | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
not having a mother around. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
At least he didn't have any women around at the time. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
We knew we'd have to get a helper for him. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
So you don't know what the outcome would be. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
It was really challenging. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
Life changed rapidly for the young star. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
He signed a sponsorship deal worth tens of thousands of dollars | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
and hired himself an agent. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
He was soon appearing on the cover of an international magazine | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
and getting a taste of life in the media spotlight. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
-First time, all right. -Quiet on the road! | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
And...action! | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
Let go! | 0:14:11 | 0:14:12 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
Stick, stick, stick, stick, stick! Go! | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
On 11th April 2004, Bolt shatters the 200-metre junior world record. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:26 | |
To this day, he remains the only junior | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
to run the race in under 20 seconds. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
17 years old and the world's most promising young sprinter, | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
Bolt looks set for stardom at the Olympic Games in Athens that year. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
But a series of injuries means | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
he is forced to bow out of a major athletics meeting in Kingston | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
and it's clear he's not fully fit for Athens. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
But Bolt chooses to ignore advice and takes part, anyway. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
I didn't think he should go. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
He didn't merit on that team but they selected him. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
I knew he was not going to do well | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
because he was not on par with his training | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
because of his sickness and so forth. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
Running with a torn hamstring, | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
Bolt is eliminated in the heats of his first Olympic Games. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
A lot of people would have failed in Athens and never recover. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:40 | |
Not Usain. He just went along, enjoying what he was doing. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
Following his Olympic defeat, | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
Usain makes a decision that will change his life. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
He takes on a new trainer, Glen Mills, | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
then head coach of the Jamaican Olympic team. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
Mills has moulded dozens of sprinters, | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
including Kim Collins, the 100 metre world champion in 2003. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
For Mills, there is only one focus - the Olympic Games in Beijing. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
He was recovering from a torn hamstring. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
The whole question of muscle strength | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
and overall body weakness were some of the areas that we looked at. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
Well, he was young and inexperienced | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
and didn't quite understand fully what it meant to be a professional athlete. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
He was always enthusiastic. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
He was determined to do well, | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
but there were a number of things that we had to, you know, | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
point out to him about his dedication to training, | 0:16:32 | 0:16:37 | |
application, following up the little details. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
At six foot five, and weighing 220lbs, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
Usain is unusually tall for a sprinter. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
Mills forces him to concentrate on strength and speed, | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
pushing Bolt's body to the limit in weight training sessions | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
lasting one and a half hours, three times a week. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
He has some very special qualities, | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
both as a competitor and as a person. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
He has the ability to focus almost instantly | 0:17:05 | 0:17:12 | |
and he learns very fast. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
He's not a workaholic, but he will work hard | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
if he ever finds himself in a situation where it is necessary. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:22 | |
Yes, we can! | 0:17:26 | 0:17:27 | |
Imagine me, a black president, man. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
Fastest black president! | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:17:35 | 0:17:36 | |
The session today will be tough. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
This 30-minute massage prepares Usain for the pain ahead. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:51 | |

Shoulders down. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
That's it. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:26 | |
Dying. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
I think a lot of people, they see you run and they say, | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
"Oh, it looks so easy. It really looks effortless." | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
But, before it gets to that point, day in, day out - sacrifice, | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
day in, day out - just dying. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
There's time when you run and you just want to stop. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
You just want to give up, say, | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
"To hell with this. I just want to go home." | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
The day when you get up and you know you have a training today, | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
you know it's going to be intense, like, | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
"Oh, God! I don't want to go today," but you've got to go. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
And it's so hard, and a lot of people don't know. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
My coach always says, "In a couple of years, we're not going to have | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
"any track because you're going to take all of it home!" | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Come on, keep going. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:15 | |
Come on. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:18 | |
-Usain, are you all right? -Yeah, coach. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
This is your conscience speaking. "Don't do it. Stop running." | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:19:37 | 0:19:38 | |
Retire. Go play football. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
Go play golf. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:19:44 | 0:19:45 | |
Finally, after four years of hard work, | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
Usain is ready for the Games in Beijing. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
He's 21 and about to enter Olympic history. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
Greece, sport... | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
In sight of the swimming pool in Beijing, China. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
The Olympics is the biggest thing there is for athletes | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
so, for me, I'm focused. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
I'm dead focused on what's necessary. I know what I want. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
If you want something and know how to get it, you've got to go and get it. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
That's how I was brought up. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
For me, it's getting easier every day, | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
because I know what I want, so I work towards it. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
GUN FIRES | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
CHEERING | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
I'll never forget that. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
I was so amazed that I got it, I didn't know what to do, | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
I didn't know how to celebrate. I was like... I was so happy. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
USAIN LAUGHS | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
It was always my dream to coach an Olympic champion | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
who was lightning and exciting, and rewarding, in terms of satisfaction. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:16 | |
Three billion viewers watch | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
as Bolt smashes the 100 metre world record. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
It's a victory that makes him | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
the focal point of the games. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:25 | |
JAMAICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
The athlete is now in a league of his own and intends to stay there. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:40 | |
In the 200 metres, Bolt wins a second gold medal | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
and breaks another world record. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
Then, alongside his team-mates, he wins a third gold | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
and sets a new world record for the 4x100 metres relay. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 | |
Three gold medals, three world records. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
It's an achievement unparalleled in the history of athletics. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
In just seven days, Bolt has become a national hero | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
and an international sporting icon. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
It's three years after Beijing and Usain is having a kick-around. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:54 | |
Yo, Alex Ferguson! Just watch. Cameras up. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
Alex Ferguson, just watch me. Today is my, is my, is my, my trial run. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:02 | |
-Make sure Alex Ferguson get this tape, OK? -What are you going to do? | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
What do you mean, what am I going to do? | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
I'm putting on football boots, I'm in a football jersey. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
-But, Usain, isn't it forbidden to do football? -It is forbidden. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
It is forbidden, but guess what. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
In life, you have to enjoy life, man. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
I don't want to catch 50 and say, | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
"Oh, God, I missed out on my youth days." | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
-Coach Mills know that you play football? -Nah, man! | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
When he sees this documentary, he's going to be pissed! | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
But it'll be after the Olympics, so most of the time... | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
Just don't show him till after the Olympics. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |

Usain likes to enjoy himself when he competes. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
His antics in Berlin before the 100 metres final rubbed off on his | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
opponents and started a new trend for athletes posing for the camera. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
I'm ready. Are you ready? Let's go! | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
For me, the start, a good reaction is key | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
because I'm a kind of a poor starter. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Set. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
If I get a good reaction, then I can get myself in the race, | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
even if my first couple of steps are not quick. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
From start to 30 metres, that's my drive phase. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
Keep your body forward, keep your head down and just keep driving, | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
driving, driving. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
After I start coming out of my drive phase, that's when I get tall, | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
start getting tall, straight, knees up, shoulders down. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
That's when you start to get to top speed. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
50 metres is when I check. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
I just glance left, glance right, | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
to make sure where I'm positioned in the race. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
I may start listening to the crowd, listening to the cheers. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
60 metres - that's when I become a beast, really. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
That's when I start to dominate a race. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
Majority of the time, I can tell from probably 60, 70 metres | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
if I'm going to win the race, | 0:25:45 | 0:25:46 | |
because the last 40 metres of my race is the strongest part of my race. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:52 | |
Last 10, 15 metres of a race, I start checking again. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
Check to the right, check to the left. Can I stop running? | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
Ten metres - that's when I determine if I've won, | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
because the last ten metres, you're not going to catch me, | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
no matter who you are, no matter what you're doing. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
No matter how focused you are, no matter how ready you think you are, | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
you won't catch me, cos that last ten metres will take me | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
three and a half strides to pass the finish line. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
And this is where the glory begins. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:19 | |
This is where you pass the finish line. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
I do what I want, celebrate to the world, do crazy stuff. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
That's when the crowd love me cos I put my flavour to it. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
I make them love and enjoy me. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
Three days after breaking the 100 metre record | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
he set in Beijing, he repeats the feat in the 200 metres. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
He breaks the world record again. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
Bolt wins a third gold medal with the Jamaican team | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
in the 4x100 metres relay race and finishes Berlin triumphant. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
But while he celebrates, the International Athletics Federation | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
is agreeing on a controversial new change to the rulebook. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
The committee vote by a huge majority to adopt | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
a new rule on false starts. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:34 | |
It's a decision that will come back to haunt Bolt. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
-Hello, hello, hello. -Mr Bolt, how are you? I'm Pamela Bridgewater. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
-I'm the US Ambassador to Jamaica... -Nice to meet you. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
..And a great, great track fan. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
Usain took the world record from the Americans. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
It's not a problem for the relationship? | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:28:03 | 0:28:04 | |
Clearly, you know, we love to support great athletes. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
It would have been great if we could have kept it, | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
but if anybody had to break it, I'd rather have it be Usain. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
Yohan! Come here. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
-Nice to meet you. I'm Pamela Bridgewater, the US Ambassador in Jamaica. -Yes. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
-Nice meeting you. -Yohan's been coming up. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
-I'm teaching him everything I know. -All right! | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
Well, you got a great teacher. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:26 | |
You couldn't ask for more than that, huh? | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
Great. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:30 | |
Usain may be a star but he doesn't train alone. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
Yohan Blake, in the white vest, | 0:28:33 | 0:28:35 | |
is one of Coach Mills' most promising sprinters. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
So is Daniel Bailey, from Antigua, fourth in Berlin. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
Even though all three are bitter rivals on the track, | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
they train together as friends. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
Set. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:51 | |
Usain is six inches taller than his team-mates and his long legs | 0:29:27 | 0:29:31 | |
actually slow him down in the opening seconds of a race. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:35 | |
On your marks. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:36 | |
Come, gentlemen. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
Set. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:42 | |
WHISTLE | 0:29:43 | 0:29:45 | |
-Set. -WHISTLE | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
When you're training, outside of training, it's all fun. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
You can't take it too serious. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
You've got to do the work, work hard, stay focused, motivate each other. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:26 | |
On the day, when you line up, then it's every man for himself, so... | 0:30:26 | 0:30:31 | |
It's all for him. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:32 | |
Three days later, Bolt gets ready to fly to Rome. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
Two hours to go till the flight and he hasn't packed. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
Don't miss the drop! | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
Don't miss the drop! | 0:30:39 | 0:30:41 | |
Die! | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
-What are you taking with you, some souvenirs, some photos? -Photos, man? | 0:30:43 | 0:30:48 | |
-Photos of what? I'm going to Europe. -Your mother, your father? | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
I'm trying to take the sun with me. That'll be good. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:55 | |
-Some books? -Nah, man. I'm more of a PlayStation type of guy. | 0:30:55 | 0:31:00 | |
-Not a reader. -The Bible? -Huh? | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
-Bible? -No, not the Bible. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
What are you trying to do, make me look bad on TV, man? | 0:31:05 | 0:31:09 | |
Usain is heading to Europe for a series of key race meetings, | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
ahead of the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |

Bolt doesn't go anywhere without his team. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:01 | |
Accompanying him on the trip are his best friend NJ and his agent | 0:32:01 | 0:32:05 | |
Ricky Simms, a 37-year-old Irishman who's been managing Bolt's interests | 0:32:05 | 0:32:09 | |
since 2003, and takes care of all his contracts and on-track business. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:14 | |
Ricky is a great part of my life. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
Since I started professional, he's been my agent. We've had good times. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:22 | |
He's treated me the same way since the first time we met. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:26 | |
In Rome, the organisers have booked Usain into their very best suite. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:32 | |
White, people? Mauve. White. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
-Is it OK? -Yeah. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:40 | |
MAN LAUGHS | 0:32:40 | 0:32:41 | |
-It's important for you to have him in the meeting? -Of course it is. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
-First time in Italy, first time in Rome. -So you sold a lot of tickets? | 0:32:48 | 0:32:52 | |
Much more than ever before and we know that this | 0:32:52 | 0:32:56 | |
is the effect of having him here. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
You can play football up here! | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
Usain has broken a record without running a step, | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
by selling 50,000 tickets for his event in Rome. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
(Come closer.) I heard that Rome is the best for women. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
Is that true? | 0:33:10 | 0:33:12 | |
You're from Paris. I'm asking you, man! | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
But listen, anyway, they say that Rome is the best for women, | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
so I'm hoping that I get lucky. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
I'll let you know at the end of this trip. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
If I get lucky, I'll give you a thumbs up. If I don't... | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
-Have you got a girlfriend in every city or what? -No, man! I'm single. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:33 | |
What kind of girlfriends are you talking about? I'm a single guy. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:37 | |
I live free. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
-It's expensive to have Usain here for competition? -Expensive for who? | 0:33:39 | 0:33:43 | |
He's good value. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:44 | |
He's rather expensive but he's worth every penny, for us. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:48 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:33:48 | 0:33:50 | |
And what does expensive mean? | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
-Well, that's not for us... -..to say. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:54 | |
Usain makes more than 200,000 euros at each meeting. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:58 | |
His earnings this summer will top £1 million. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:04 | |
USAIN CHUCKLES What the hell?! | 0:34:04 | 0:34:07 | |
What about your expectations? | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
Well, for me, I'm just coming out here, really, to see where I'm at. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:30 | |
I feel in good shape. I've been training, I've been getting there. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:33 | |
So I'm really focused and ready now, and I'm going out there to just | 0:34:33 | 0:34:37 | |
prove to the world that I'm still the best, | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
and just to stay focused and work hard. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
Yohan Blake ran 9.8 in Kingston. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
He's your training partner. Are you still faster than he is? | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
I should think I'm definitely faster than Yohan Blake. We train together. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:52 | |
I think he's going to do wonderful things this season. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:54 | |
One of his down points was definitely his start, | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
and he's really putting a lot of work into it, | 0:34:57 | 0:34:59 | |
so I definitely think this season | 0:34:59 | 0:35:01 | |
is going to be a good season for the Racers Track Club. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
Four hours before the race. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:06 | |
Go outside, it'll be better. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:09 | |
A photo for Usain's six million fans on Facebook. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
-Full frame? -Hm-mm. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
Two hours before the race, just time for a lap around the stadium | 0:35:28 | 0:35:33 | |
for the benefit of his adoring public. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
CHILDREN CHEER: Bolt! Bolt! Bolt! | 0:36:18 | 0:36:20 | |
Bad start. | 0:36:57 | 0:36:58 | |
Rusty. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:06 | |
First race in a long time, I guess. He won. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
I don't think he's going to be too impressed with the start or his time. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:12 | |
But he won the race and he'll get better from here. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:17 | |
I won but it was a suck race. One of the worst races ever, man. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:48 | |
Hey, hey, hey! Fix your stuff, man. It's no good. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
-You were so nervous, huh. -Oh, yeah, I was nervous, man. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
I was nervous. It was a bad race. My coach asked me... | 0:37:55 | 0:37:59 | |
My coach said to me that I'd forgotten how to run. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:38:02 | 0:38:04 | |
How do you explain that? | 0:38:04 | 0:38:05 | |
I can't. He understands. I told him it was just nerves. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
I got the nerves out now, so it's just business after this. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
So I'm looking forward to the next one. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
It's a weak start for Bolt but the tour must go on. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:49 | |
# Woo-oo-ooh | 0:38:55 | 0:38:56 | |
# Been watching you, babe | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
# And I feel what you're trying to do | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
# You tried hard to get next to me | 0:39:02 | 0:39:06 | |
# I was so in love with you I could hardly see | 0:39:06 | 0:39:10 | |
# Now it seems you wanna run out on me | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
# And after all this time Tell me can't you see | 0:39:14 | 0:39:18 | |
# All this love that I'm giving | 0:39:18 | 0:39:22 | |
-# Giving my love -# All this love that I'm giving | 0:39:22 | 0:39:27 | |
-# Giving my love -# All this love that I'm giving | 0:39:27 | 0:39:30 | |
-# Giving my love -# All this love that I'm giving... # | 0:39:30 | 0:39:35 | |
-It's a special life, huh? -Huh? | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
Hotel, hotel, travel, hotel, press conference, hotel. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:45 | |
It's a routine life! | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
-It's hard? -Nah. You get used to it. At first, it was kind of complicated. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:52 | |
Not used to all the cameras and flying every weekend, | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
and running every day, interviews all time. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:59 | |
-But...you get used to it. -You're not tired of this? -No. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:03 | |
It's a part of my life now. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:04 | |
Usain has come to Oslo to compete in the 200 metres, | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
but first the organisers have a great idea about | 0:40:09 | 0:40:12 | |
how best to introduce him to the Norwegian public. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:15 | |
Don't care about the car. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
-Just stand like that. -RICKY: This is the car? -Yeah. -Seriously? | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
Just stand like that. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:28 | |
-Just stand on whatever. -OK. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:40:51 | 0:40:53 | |
RHYTHMIC CLAPPING | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
What do you think about the beginning of the season, NJ? | 0:41:05 | 0:41:08 | |
It's good so far. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
Things are progressing slowly but surely. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:15 | |
World Championship is the aim. The coach says he's at the right place. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:19 | |
We have no worries. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
Eddie feel the legs and says good condition. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:25 | |
Masseuse knows his legs more than anybody else. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
We're just working smartly, you know. To get there. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:34 | |
DROWNED OUT BY CROWD NOISE | 0:41:51 | 0:41:53 | |
Get it, get it! | 0:41:59 | 0:42:00 | |
Usain wins the 200 metres, | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
giving him a clean sheet of six races and six victories. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:12 | |
He's about to fly to Daegu, South Korea, unbeaten in Europe. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:16 | |
He has a challenge to live as a superstar, | 0:42:37 | 0:42:42 | |
how to balance the whole excitement and the attention, | 0:42:42 | 0:42:49 | |
along with what is required for your work, | 0:42:49 | 0:42:53 | |
to develop and to maintain a high standard on the track. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:58 | |
It's past midnight in Oslo. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
Before he leaves, Usain has to make one last appearance in the VIP area, | 0:43:01 | 0:43:05 | |
where he stays a little longer than strictly necessary. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:08 | |
What time? | 0:43:12 | 0:43:13 | |
# Don't worry about a thing | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
# Cos every little thing is going to be all right | 0:43:20 | 0:43:24 | |
# Rise up this morning | 0:43:26 | 0:43:29 | |
# Smiled with the rising sun | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
# Three little birds | 0:43:32 | 0:43:35 | |
# Walk by my doorstep | 0:43:35 | 0:43:38 | |
# Singing sweet songs | 0:43:38 | 0:43:41 | |
# Of melodies pure and true | 0:43:43 | 0:43:45 | |
# This is my message to you-ou-ou. # | 0:43:47 | 0:43:52 | |
South Korea, and Bolt has two goals. | 0:43:56 | 0:44:00 | |
One - to remain unbeaten in the 100 and 200 metres. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
Two - to show the world that he's ready to take gold in London. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:08 | |
During the competition, Usain's home is here in the athletes' village. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:31 | |
It's a small four-room flat that he shares with six other Jamaicans. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:36 | |
Look at this! You see him pick it up and turn and go on. | 0:44:36 | 0:44:39 | |
Pass the ball, pass. Come on! | 0:44:39 | 0:44:41 | |
Oh, you were dealing with that, man! | 0:44:43 | 0:44:46 | |
Oh, come on! | 0:44:49 | 0:44:51 | |
Tomorrow, all seven flatmates will be on the track. | 0:44:51 | 0:44:55 | |
Usain's biggest fans, his family, | 0:45:04 | 0:45:07 | |
have come all the way from Kingston to watch him race. | 0:45:07 | 0:45:11 | |
It was a good day, man. First round. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:51 | |
Felt smooth. Executed well. | 0:45:51 | 0:45:54 | |
I think my coach is going to be very proud of me. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:56 | |
It was a very good start. | 0:45:56 | 0:45:58 | |
Ran to 50 metres, shut it down. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:01 | |
Take it through the line. A wonderful day. | 0:46:01 | 0:46:03 | |
I'm very proud of myself. Tomorrow, I'm going to be ready. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:06 | |
Usain and Yohan have both made it through to the semifinals. | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
In the World Championships, as in the Olympic Games, | 0:46:30 | 0:46:33 | |
the semifinals and final are held on the same day, | 0:46:33 | 0:46:36 | |
with just a two-hour interval between them. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:39 | |
It's an easy win for Bolt. | 0:47:13 | 0:47:15 | |
Meanwhile, in the other semifinal, | 0:47:15 | 0:47:17 | |
Yohan Blake achieves his best performance of the year. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:20 | |
The final looks set to be a two-horse race - Bolt versus Blake. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:25 | |
Coach Mills prefers to stay behind the scenes when his athletes race. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:35 | |
He'll be watching the final from here, | 0:47:35 | 0:47:38 | |
the warm-up track, on a giant screen. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:40 | |
CROWD ROARS | 0:47:48 | 0:47:49 | |
LOUDSPEAKER: Ssh. | 0:48:35 | 0:48:36 | |
-On your marks. -Go! | 0:48:40 | 0:48:42 | |
Set. | 0:48:50 | 0:48:51 | |
STARTER GUN FIRES | 0:48:51 | 0:48:53 | |
INAUDIBLE | 0:48:57 | 0:48:59 | |
Come on, Yohan! Come on, Yohan! | 0:50:00 | 0:50:02 | |
While the Bolt family congratulate Yohan, | 0:50:37 | 0:50:40 | |
agent Ricky looks for Usain, but he's nowhere to be found. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:43 | |
I've just been all the way round. I can't see him anywhere. | 0:50:48 | 0:50:52 | |
Can we go to the changing rooms? | 0:50:52 | 0:50:54 | |
-Yeah, but I don't... -I know where they are. | 0:50:54 | 0:50:56 | |
Even the organisers have lost track of him. | 0:50:56 | 0:50:59 | |
-You have a sleep? -Try getting some. -Then get some practice. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:47 | |
The new world champion, people - Yohan Blake! | 0:51:47 | 0:51:49 | |
USAIN CHUCKLES | 0:51:49 | 0:51:51 | |
It's not a team sport but if I didn't get it I'm happy he did. | 0:51:51 | 0:51:54 | |
I've seen him train, man. I've seen the work he put in. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:56 | |
He works more hard than me. | 0:51:56 | 0:51:59 | |
YOHAN LAUGHS | 0:51:59 | 0:52:00 | |
-So it's a mixed feeling tonight? I mean, you're happy for Yohan? -Yeah. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:19 | |
-But not for you? -Yeah, you can't dwell on the past, man. | 0:52:19 | 0:52:23 | |
You learn that. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:24 | |
I grew up in the church so there was one thing they always say, | 0:52:25 | 0:52:28 | |
"Everything happen for a reason. God has a plan for everybody," so... | 0:52:28 | 0:52:33 | |
You can't really complain. You've got to just move on. | 0:52:33 | 0:52:36 | |
I have one more race to go, so I can't stress over that and worry. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:40 | |
I've got to focus on the next task at hand, so that's what's up next. | 0:52:40 | 0:52:45 | |
I'm kind of pissed at myself cos I've been working hard, | 0:52:46 | 0:52:50 | |
on my start especially. | 0:52:50 | 0:52:51 | |
You've been along the way. You've seen the work that I put in. | 0:52:51 | 0:52:55 | |
You've seen what I've gone through, the bad starts, the bad races, | 0:52:59 | 0:53:02 | |
and it finally came together at the right time, man. | 0:53:02 | 0:53:05 | |
I pretty much just squandered it, I would say. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:08 | |
All I could hear was something saying, "Go," in my head. | 0:53:13 | 0:53:15 | |
And I just went. And after, I was like, "What the hell just happened?" | 0:53:15 | 0:53:19 | |
I guess tonight I was my worst enemy, so... | 0:53:21 | 0:53:23 | |
Cos I should have won that race easy, but... | 0:53:23 | 0:53:26 | |
..can't dwell on the past. | 0:53:27 | 0:53:30 | |
I'm not dwelling. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:32 | |
Manchester United just won. I'm happy. Moving on. | 0:53:32 | 0:53:35 | |
What marks a great champion is the ability to bounce back. | 0:53:44 | 0:53:47 | |
Six days after his false start, | 0:53:47 | 0:53:49 | |
Usain lines up for the 200 metres final. | 0:53:49 | 0:53:53 | |

The next day, in the final of the 4x100 metres relay, | 0:55:46 | 0:55:49 | |
it's Yohan Blake who passes the baton to Bolt. | 0:55:49 | 0:55:52 | |
Together, they set a new world record. | 0:55:52 | 0:55:56 | |
It's the only record broken in the entire 2011 track and field season. | 0:55:56 | 0:56:00 | |
# ..Though we already won | 0:56:00 | 0:56:02 | |
# We'll still hold on... # | 0:56:02 | 0:56:05 | |
I didn't dream that it would happen. | 0:56:05 | 0:56:07 | |
Myself is really searching to find out how come? Why? | 0:56:07 | 0:56:14 | |
What caused him to be so fast? | 0:56:14 | 0:56:17 | |
Is he here for a purpose? | 0:56:17 | 0:56:19 | |
Yo! | 0:56:24 | 0:56:26 | |
I'm number one, we all are number one. All day, every day. | 0:56:27 | 0:56:31 | |
That's what we do - fast running. | 0:56:31 | 0:56:33 | |
Jamaica - smallest island, biggest at heart. | 0:56:33 | 0:56:35 | |
Jamaica! | 0:56:35 | 0:56:36 | |
He wants to be a legend and he said, | 0:56:47 | 0:56:49 | |
"To be a legend, is to repeat it in London." | 0:56:49 | 0:56:52 | |
I say, "Thank you, Lord, for what you have done. | 0:56:52 | 0:56:55 | |
"You have given him the strength. You have given him the courage. | 0:56:55 | 0:56:58 | |
"And I am really grateful." | 0:56:58 | 0:57:00 | |
Started off bad, but the fans really came into it over the 200 metres, the 4x1, | 0:57:00 | 0:57:04 | |
and at the end of the championship, I got a world record with a great team, | 0:57:04 | 0:57:07 | |
so the lesson is just keep your head up, no matter what happen. | 0:57:07 | 0:57:11 | |
Usain now faces the greatest challenge of his career - the London Olympics. | 0:57:12 | 0:57:17 | |
If he can win gold in the 100 metres, | 0:57:17 | 0:57:20 | |
he will become one of the greatest Olympic athletes in history. | 0:57:20 | 0:57:24 | |
The world is watching. | 0:57:24 | 0:57:26 | |
Can Usain Bolt fulfil his destiny and become a legend? | 0:57:26 | 0:57:31 | |
# Hold on now, now | 0:57:35 | 0:57:37 | |
# Hold on and believe | 0:57:37 | 0:57:39 | |
