OLYMPIC 100m and 200m champion Usain Bolt and Jamaica's star-studded track and field team have been training under heavy security at the University of Birmingham.
Bolt, world 100m champion Yohan Blake and three-time Olympic gold medallist Veronica Campbell-Brown are among the big names already at the camp, but fans have been left frustrated by the behind closed doors training sessions.
"You are not allowed to take any photos around the school campus, it's a private area," a member of the university security team shouted as fans tried to peep through the hedges on Thursday.
"No peeping is allowed on the athletes," shouted another security guard.
A fan was very upset about the guarded track. "This is our country, this is our Olympics. We should be allow here, not on the track, but certainly here to watch, that's what it's here for, to watch, not for them not to watch," he said. "I'm here to see Usain Bolt, who I got a glimpse of yesterday (Wednesday), a tall guy, looking very swift."
Student Charles Wilson, who climbed onto the gate to get a look, said he came only to see Bolt. "I am just trying to get a glimpse of him because he's a big inspiration of mine, so I will do anything to get a glimpse of him," Wilson said.
