Olympics 2008 star Usain Bolt looking
forward to train with Van Nistelrooy
Friday 12 September 2008
Real Madrid have confirmed that
Jamaican sprinter – and Los Merengues fan - Usain
Bolt has accepted an offer to train with the club.
Bolt expressed an interest in training with the Spanish
champions while competing in Beijing last month, where
he won gold medals in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay.
And now Real Madrid have taken him up on the offer.
"I have been invited to train with them, and be
assured that I will go," said the 6’5”
sprinter.
Bolt also revealed that he was particularly looking
forward to meeting Dutch legend Ruud van Nistelrooy.
"I have followed van Nistelrooy since he was at
Manchester United, and I know that he's a magnificent
kind of player," he said.
No date has yet been set for Bolt’s Real Madrid
meet-up.
