Usain Bolt outlines his plan to produce a performance worthy of giving him legendary status at this summer's Olympics.

Usain Bolt has revealed that he wants to stamp his name in history by producng a special performance at this summer's London Olympics.

The Jamaican is the reigning 100m and 200m champion but admits that he has not yet reached his desired physical condition ahead of the Olympic Games.

Bolt said: "People talk about me running 9.4 or 18. I'm at about 80 per cent now so I'll go home, work on my technique, work on my strengths and get to 100%. Then maybe those times are possible.

"I want to be a legend, and this Olympics is the one to make it. It's London, it's central, it's where everybody is watching. London, New York, Dubai... those are the cities where people take notice. It's important that London is the place where I stamp my name on history.

"It's the one thing I'm looking forward to saying when I walk into the press conference after the 200m, if everything has gone as planned, before they ask me the first question, I'm looking forward to saying: 'You're looking at a living legend'."

Bolt set the fastest 100m time of 2012 last week in Rome.
