All eyes focus on Bolt as worlds begin
The ever entertaining and always amusing Usain Bolt will soon be blazing down his lane to provide a dose of positive performances on the track instead of the testing lab.
The recent doping scandals involving Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell have cast a dark cloud over the sport, one that Bolt’s hoping to blow away by sprinting his way to gold.
That Gay or Powell, or even an injured Yohan Blake, aren’t at the world championships that open today in Moscow doesn’t really overshadow the event because anytime Bolt steps into the blocks he makes for compelling theater.
And Bolt’s biggest challenger often seems to be the clock anyway.
His biggest challenger will be American Justin Gatlin, who beat him in Rome two months ago and is eager to prove it wasn’t a fluke.
“It’s like a real heavyweight bout, where you have two guys who aren’t the best of friends, ready to run against each other and rumble,” Gatlin said.
