Jamaican sprinter (短跑选手) Usain Bolt plans to send a message to rival Tyson Gay by breaking the world 100m record in the London Grand Prix on Friday.

    Bolt, who won gold in the 100m, 200m and 4*100m relay in record times at the Beijing Olympics last year, is determined to use the Crystal Palace event to crush the morale (士气) of his main rival for gold at next month’s World Athletics Championships in Berlin.

    The 22-year-old is slowly returning to peak form after posting 19.59 sec for the 200m in Lausanne earlier this month and clocking a time of 9.79 sec over 100m in cold, rainy conditions in Paris.

    Despite Bolt’s impressive times, Gay still believes he has the beating of the Jamaican. But Bolt insists there is no one in the sport who scares him and he will prove the point in south London this weekend.

    Although Bolt believes he is only running at 85 percent at the moment while he recovers from injuries suffered in a recent car crash in Jamaica, he sees no reason why he can’t break his world record 100m time of 9.69 seconds.

    However he won’t get the chance to take on Gay in the 100m in London as the American is only running in the 200m, which Bolt is not competing in, so he will have to settle for underlining his own ability.

    “You never know what is possible. I will give my best either way. My friends are saying I’m bringing the rain wherever I go but we will see on Friday.”

    While Bolt would love to make a big impact in London, he knows the main event is the World Championships.

    “The London Grand Prix will show me where I’m at and what I need to do. After, we can analyse what I need to do ahead of the World Championships.”

     Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
                                                                        ―Thomas Jefferson
     As a high school coach, I did all I could to help my boys win their games. I pushed as hard for   1   as they
did.  
     A dramatic incident,   2  , following a game in which I was appointed as a referee (裁判),   3   my views on
victories and defeats. I was refereeing a league championship basketball game in New Rochelle, New York,
between New Rochelle and Yonkers High. New Rochelle was coached by Dan O'Brien, Yonkers by Les Beck.
     The gym was   4   with audience, and the volume of noise made it   5   to hear. The game was well played
and   6   contested. Yonkers was   7   by one point as I   8   the clock and discovered there were only 30
seconds left to play.
     Yonkers,   9   the ball, passed off-shot-missed. New Rochelle recovered-pushed the ball up court - shot. The
ball   10   around the rim and off. The fans shouted with disappointment.  
     New Rochelle, the   11   team, recovered the ball, and tapped it in ( 拨进篮框) for what looked like victory.
The noise of whistles, screams and shouts was   12  . I took a quick look at the clock and saw that the game
was over. I hadn't heard the final buzzer (终场哨声) because of the noise. I  13  with the other official, but he
could not help me.  
     Still   14   help in this chaos, I approached the timekeeper, a young man of 17 or so. He said,"Mr. Covina,
the buzzer   15   as the ball rolled off the rim,  16   the tap-in was made."  
     I was in the unpleasant position of having to tell Coach O'Brien the   17   news."Dan," I said, " Yonkers won
the game."  
     His face clouded over. The young timekeeper came up. He said, "I'm sorry, Dad. The time ran out before the
final basket."  
     Suddenly, Coach O'Brien's face  18  . He said, "That's okay, Joe. You did what you had to do. I'm  19   of
you."  
     Turning to me, he said, "Al, I want you to meet my   20  , Joe."  
     The two of them then walked off the court together, shoulder to shoulder.
