I saw his parents at the shops the other day and asked them whether they had got their tickets to the Olympics yet, to which they replied &#39;Hang on, he hasn&#39;t even qualified yet.&#39; <p>I don&#39;t think they have to worry now - being the fastest man in the world he better be at Beijing! </p><p>I hope he contiinues smashing records!</p>
