Nobody Will Beat a Healthy Usain Bolt in Rio – NBC Analyst

It was all gold for Jamaica’s Usain Bolt at the 2012 London Olympics.

The world’s fastest man was victorious in both the 100m and 200m events.

He also earned gold as a part of the Men’s 4 x 100m relay team.

However, prior to his successes in London, there were a few question marks raised following two losses to fellow Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake.

  

Blake edged Bolt for first place in in both the 100m and 200m at Trials.

Despite the concerns by some just before the tournament, the ‘Big man’ delivered once again to earn the goods for Jamaica.

This time around, there should be litlle doubt that Bolt will once again come out on top as he appears to be approaching peak form just in time for the upcoming Olympics in Rio.

Nobody will beat a healthy Usain Bolt in Rio, according to NBC track and field analyst Ato Boldon who seemignly believes it will be smooth sailing for Bolt.

“His road to gold in Rio in both events is easier than it was in London,” said Boldon in a recent interview at NBC Sports’ headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.

The in form American sprinter Justin Gatlin is the only man with a victory over Bolt since the 2012 Olympics, however  at the 2015 World Championships, Bolt defeated him in both the 100m at 200m.

Ato Boldon is a former athlete from Trinidad and Tobago and four-time Olympic medal winner.
