00:00I'm putting myself in the shoes of an elite athlete. Running, jumping, throwing
00:06and everything in between. My coaches are some of the best in Britain. They'll show
00:12me what it takes to win gold. My first challenge, the 100 meters. That's a time
00:19of 16.34, less than seven seconds behind Usain Bolt's world record. So when he's
00:26flying over the line, I'm just past halfway at 58 meters. I felt like
00:32lightning, but my coach has other ideas. You held on for about five meters and
00:38then it was just survive the rest of the actual race itself. Okay, Bolt's record is
00:44safe for now, but he better watch his back because I'm chasing Olympic glory
00:49and nothing will stop me. Not even a complete lack of talent.
