SuggestedLeadIn: Bolt on on Beijing, Coe and superstitions
Script: SOUNDBITE (English) Usain Bolt (on his last visit to Beijing):
"For me coming here was really exciting, even from the flight here I was really excited to get here.The people here are so welcoming, it was fun. It was just a joy to be here, competition was great, they sang happy birthday for me when I was here so that was cool. There's a lot of nice memories and I'm definitely happy to be back here."
SOUNDBITE (English) Usain Bolt (on the appointment of Lord Coe as IAAF President):
"For me, Lord Coe...I really don't know, when it comes to politics I try to stay way from it. As long as he's good for the sport and tries to do right by the athletes then I'm happy that he's been elected but we'll see what happens in the future."
SOUNDBITE (English) Usain Bolt (on superstitions):
"Surprisingly I've noticed something over the year. People have asked me if I have any superstitions and I've noticed that every Olympic year I've always trimmed. But every World Championships I've always had a beard and high hair. After a while it just became a thing. So in World Championship years I don't really cut my hair, I have high hair and a little bit of a beard. Next year at the olympics I'll have a low cut."
