I Will Continue To Be The Number One - King Usain Bolt
Usain Bolt insists he is still king of the sprinters after returning from injury with back-to-back 100m times of 9.87sec at the London Diamond League meeting.
Asked if his winning performances — in the heats and final on a rain-soaked Olympic Stadium track — proved that he was still the world’s number one, the 28-year-old Jamaican replied defiantly: “I was never number two.”
“I am still number one,” said Olympic champion and world record holder Bolt. “I will continue being number one. Until I retire, that’s the plan.” On 100m times recorded in 2015, Bolt is now ranked number six.

Usain Bolts Returns To Form With 100m Win In Anniversary Games
Six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt showed a return to form to win the 100m at the Anniversary Games in London. The Jamaican, who has been struggling for fitness, won both his heat and the final in 9.87 seconds in wet conditions at the Olympic Stadium.
"I really wanted to run faster," said Bolt, 28, who defends his world title next month. "But it's getting there."
Meanwhile, Britain's double Olympic champion Mo Farah received a great reception as he won the 3,000m.
Farah, 32, was competing in England for the first time since allegations of doping were made against coach Alberto Salazar, claims which Salazar and Farah both deny.
