Usain Bolt will carry the Jamaican flag in the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.
''Carrying the flag is an honor,'' Bolt said Thursday. ''For my country Jamaica, I'll do anything - to be on TV. I'm happy. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.''
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Bolt set world records in winning the 100 and 200 meters. He also helped the Jamaican team set a world record in the 4x100 relay for a third gold medal.
But Bolt will enter the London Olympics after losing to teammate Yohan Blake in the 100 and 200 at the Jamaican trials.

While the creators and stars of Ted have to be lauded for their creativity at points, one of the film's promotional posters is decidedly not original. But that didn't keep track star Usain Bolt from using the ad to do some pre-Summer Games mischief.

Come February, I’ll be interested to see the ratio of pre-season stories written about the different roles Tim Tebow might be serving for the Jets versus the in-season stories written about what Tebow actually did on the field. I’m not saying he won’t be used or making plays, but I’m saying the number of stories that will have to be written about his stellar kickoff coverage...
