Bolt changes into proper running strip as they head towards the Olympic Stadium, then at the track gets into the starting blocks and looks up -- to see that the stranger is the official race starter who needed to get there ahead of the world record holder at 100m and 200m.Bolt is expected to be one of the biggest attractions at the London Olympics as he attempts to defend his 100 and 200 metre titles.
