With just 100 days to go, Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps and David Beckham are all excited about competing at this year s London Olympics.
Speaking to the BBC on Wednesday, three-time Olympic champion Bolt claimed that if he can achieve similar results to the Beijing Olympics in 2008 he will be considered one of the greatest sprinters of all time.
If I dominate the Olympics, I ll be a living legend, the Jamaican said. A living legend walking around sounds good.
Bolt won gold medals in the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4 100 metres relay in Beijing and believes the public want to be shocked by his performances in London.
The 25-year-old currently holds the world record for the 100m (9.58 seconds) and the 200m (19.19 seconds).
People are looking forward to me running 9.4, 19 seconds, anything that s amazing, Bolt said.
So I m working as hard as possible so I can go as fast as possible.
April 18 marks 100 days until the start of the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Beckham, who hopes to be included in the United Kingdom s football side that will be especially put together for this year s Games, expressed his amazement at the changes happening in the city of his birth.
To see the transformation in east London, somewhere I was brought up as a kid, is really incredible, the LA Galaxy midfielder said.
As a fan of the Olympics and as a dad, to be able to say that I am going to be able to take my sons and my daughter to an Olympic Games in the place where I grew up, I m proud of that.
Phelps, who will most likely be a part of the USA s swim team, wants to end his career on a high in London.
This is the last chapter of my career as an athlete and I m just hoping it goes the way I want, the 14-time Olympic gold medallist said.
I m trying to work as hard as I can to make sure it does.
