I can promise the fans that I will do them a real show – said the Jamaican Usain Bolt, the biggest star of the Memorial Kamila Skolimowska, who on Saturday will take place in Warsaw’s National Stadium.

Usain Bolt is now one of the biggest names in not only athletics, but for the whole of world sport. Perhaps the biggest. He was born on August 21, 1986 in Trelawny, Jamaica. Initially practiced cricket, but soon switched to sprint because it began to achieve success. It is true that in 2001 at the world championships under 17 years of Debrecen was eliminated in the semifinals of the 200 m (which then are specialized), but after two years in the Canadian Sherbrooke was already unrivaled result of 20.13 s wyrówując world junior record.

Even then, many experts predicted that this young lies enormous potential, which at some point will explode with incredible force. In 2004, for the first time defeated 200 m in under 20 seconds (19.93). With each season was getting faster, and just before the Olympics in Beijing was already bricked favorite for gold medals – at both 100 and 200 meters. Then have expected from him, not only triumphs. Also, the times that will be history. A sample of what may happen in the Chinese capital, he gave just before the Olympics, when New York defeated the “hundred” in an amazing 9.72 seconds. It was a new record, the record, it seemed, for many years. In Beijing Bolt made the finals but impossible.

100 m obtained 9.69, at 200 – 19.30. So fast on these distances is not running earlier one. Jamaican collection he added a gold in the relay 4 x 100 meters. A year later at the world championships in Berlin, Bolt showed that there are no boundaries, which is not able to overcome. Again, won three gold medals, each time with a record of the world – 100 (9.58), 200 (19.19) and relay (37.31). Then he survived the biggest defeat of his career. In 2011, at the world championships in Daegu committed a false start in the 100 meters, for which he was disqualified. Before the Olympic Games in London, his form was a riddle, lacked even those who were expecting problems. Meanwhile, three times again stood on the highest step of the podium, passing into history.

Today is a living legend sprint, the fastest man of the world, which is still able to overcome barriers and push the boundaries not to cross. On Saturday, will run at the National Stadium. For the first time in his career under the roof, because this is zasunięty to protect against weather surprises. – I started in the street in Manchester, on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, now the football facility. I do it to promote athletics. I believe that fans wspomigą me doping, and from my part I promise the show – he said.

Indoor unofficial world record since 1996 belongs to Frankie Fredericks of Namibia’s representative and is 10.05 seconds. As the roof on Saturday will be zasunięty National Stadium will turn into a hall. Bolt “hundred” at such a time can beat blindfolded and backwards, so you can expect a record run. – I hope that as I run faster than 10.5, the result will be considered record – he admitted. In Poland, so far 100 m soon defeated another Jamaican, Asafa Powell – 9.82 meters. Bolt at this time runs regularly, but, as pointed out, today is not quite prepared enough to beat countryman.
