    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): Usain Bolt, Six-time Olympic Gold Medalist, on his fitness:

    "No, it's not where I want it to be but I'm getting there. Every day we're working on different things and everything is coming together. I'm feeling better every day in training so all I need to do now is get more races and just go out there and execute pretty much."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Usain Bolt, Six-time Olympic Gold Medalist, on the 2016 Olympic Games:

    "I said over the years definitely it's going to be my last Olympics but I think I'll retire at the World Championships in London. But, for me, the Olympics is gonna be one of the biggest things of my career. To do it three times, no one has really attempted to have done it three times so for me to get this opportunity, I'm definitely looking forward to it. The closer it get the more excited I get. So, for me it's just gonna be something that I know I've been looking forward for years. I'm gonna work hard, there's going to be a lot of sacrifice next season, I'm gonna be really dedicated to getting it done so I'm looking forward to Rio next year."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Usain Bolt, Six-time Olympic Gold Medalist, on if he's been watching Justin Gatlin:

    "For me it's hard not to see what he's doing because he talks a lot, he says a lot. So for me I've definitely seen what he's doing but for me I never worry. I have 12 weeks to get ready for the World Championships and that's what I'm focused on. I'm just coming back from a rough season last season so I'm just trying to work my way back into shape, work my way back up the ladder and I'm sure as soon as when I get to Beijing I'll be ready to go. So I'm looking forward to the competition."
