Olympic champion Usain Bolt has claimed that he does not play mind games with other athletes before races.
The Jamaican, who begins the defence of his 100m title on Saturday, has insisted that he will always be vocal before a race begins.
Bolt said: "Before the race there will be guys who want to stay quiet and stay focused and guys who want to talk. I prefer to talk so I'll talk to any of the Caribbean guys because we know each other.
"I'll probably end up talking with Yohan [Blake]. We'll talk about girls, cars, music... anything that takes your mind off the race. I don't need mind games."
Sports Mole will be tracking Bolt's progress in the 100m on Saturday.
