BOLT SEEKS CURE

- DOMINIC KING

USAIN BOLT will visit Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt in Germany this week as he seeks a cure for the injury that is threatenin­g his Olympic dream. There are worries the grade one hamstring tear which forced Bolt, 29, to pull out of the Jamaica Senior National Championsh­ips at the weekend is more problemati­c than anticipate­d. Bolt has a close relationsh­ip with Muller-Wohlfahrt, and hopes the former Bayern Munich club doctor will ensure he is ready for the Anniversar­y Games in London, which start on July 22. Bolt’s place in the Olympic squad for the 100m is assured but he is running out of chances to clock a qualifying time in the 200m. ‘There is one event in London for him,’ said Ludlow Watts, the Jamaican Athletics Administra­tive Associatio­n’s team manager. ‘I’m sure he will use that opportunit­y to run a good time.’ Bolt’s training partner Yohan Blake showed breathtaki­ng speed in Kingston this weekend, proving that his injury problems are behind him. ‘A lot of people wrote me off but I have taken my time and worked my way back. I’m getting close to where I want to be,’ said Blake, who is contemplat­ing running at the Anniversar­y Games.
