One of my friends heard that 100m Olympic Champion Usain Bolt is being lined up to take part in Strictly Come Dancing. Can anyone clarify these rumours?

Can't confirm or deny, but I'd love to see him. I hope it's true!

Not being an athletics fan I hadn't heard of him, but he looks good on Wikipedia!

Looking at the photo of him, he might be a bit muscle-bound for dancing some of the latin. Still Arlene won't be there to point this out! (Who will we have to talk about 'arms' and 'hands' now? )

Running 100 meters in 9.7 seconds, how many circuits of the dance floor will he quickstep in 90 seconds?

Athletes who appear on scd and dwts are usually those who have retired from their sport. As Bolt is preparing for the World games in Berlin which I believe are in September (could be wrong on that) I doubt he's contemplating waltzing around a dancefloor. Would be interesting though.

I agree - he is still competing so it is highly unlikely to be on.

No chance
