Napier Parking: Sprinter Usain Bolt is fighting fit & ready for the Olympics after injury rumours

July 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Last week, athlete Usain Bolt was flown back to Munich in order to receive medical treatment from the well known sports physician Hans Wilhelem Muller-Whlfahrt. This was just days after he was defeated in two separate races (the 100 and 200 metre), by his training partner called Yohan Blake. After the second race, which was the first 200m race he had run in more than five years, Bolt received a stretching treatment for his hamstrings whilst he lay on the side of the Kingston track.

A spokesperson for the athlete released a statement on his behalf a few days later, in which it was announced that Bolt would be withdrawing from a meeting he was due to race at on the 20th of July. This race was another 200m and was due to be his final competition before the beginning of the Olympic Games. According to Napier Parking friends. http://www.napierparking.org.uk/

The statement, along with the sprinter’s journey to Munich for treatment raised fears amongst the athletic community that Bolt was suffering from a serious leg issue just a few weeks before he was due to compete at the Games. However Ricky Simms, who works as Bolt’s agent, insisted that the problem was nothing serious, merely a slightly strained hamstring, and added that Bolt was now fully recovered and had resumed his normal training schedule.  

Simms also said that Bolt was currently in London, as this had served as his base in Europe for the last few summers, and that the athlete would stay in the city until he is due to join up with other sprinters at the pre-Olympic Birmingham base before the Games begin. The agent said that once Bolt realised that his hamstring was tight, he decided to rest it instead of risking injury at the meet in Monaco, Napier Parking thought that the advice was in his best interests.

A fellow member of Bolt’s racing club in Kingston, Blake made the most out of Bolt’s minor injury by beating him and managing second place in both the one hundred metre and the two hundred metre.

There was a lot of speculation, particularly amongst sporting experts and fans such as Napier Parking colleagues, after Bolt made his trip to see the famous doctor, nicknamed ‘healing Hans’, however Simms has confirmed now that it was simply a routine check up and the appointment had been made before Bolt had even realised his hamstring muscle had tightened. Bolt has regularly visited the German physician’s clinic since he turned sixteen, as a result of the slight curvature of the spine which he suffers from. This spinal issue is said to sometimes affect on the hamstrings. Simms has also denied the reports made by the media that the athlete’s support team were spending excessive amounts of money on an ice-chamber to speed up Bolt’s recovery time.
