Did anyone else watch the documentary film about the brilliant Usain Bolt last night? The amount of work that guy has put in to get where he is today is just phenomenal and yet he seems to remain as level headed and loyal to his group of friends and relatives as ever.

The really telling thing for me was one of his colleagues describing him towards the end of the film - " he's never tried to be political, he just wants to make people smile"! Well, he's certainly done that and seen off all the challengers (genuine and cheats) to his domination.

Every so often sports through up characters who it's just impossible to dislike and he certainly falls into that category.

Hoping he can end his career with another gold at the world champs this month! smile

    Yes I saw it and I thought it was interesting but a tad too long.

    It just shows how dedicated and focused you must be to win a gold and he came across as a decent bloke. His trainer didn't look the part but he knew how to take Bolt's natural talent and make him world class.

    Didn't see it. But this morning on the radio, someone compared him to The Greatest - Mohamed Ali. Is there a better accolade?

    Yes, I think he's the 21st century equivalent of Ali! smile
