I see Usain Bolt on the circuit and he ’ s always good fun . He likes to make jokes of me ! I remember in Moscow , at the last World Championships , when I was competing in the 200m when most people saw me as a 100m runner , he killed me in the warmup . ‘ What are you doing ? ’ he asked me . ‘ This is for the 200m runners – the 100m was a few days ago . You missed it. ’ I told him I was doing the 200m . ‘ Why ? he asked again . I said I wanted to try it . He was winding me up . It was helping me relax , actually . It was very nice . Adam Gemili says Usain Bolt is a joker on the circuit and gives him great advice . The young British athlete says he is nowhere near Bolt 's standard at the moment but it could be his time soon . Gemili has announced his participation in the Sainsbury 's Anniversary Games this summer . It obviously worked , as I then ran sub-20 and he was praising me a lot and saying great things about me . Bolt gave me some great advice to really enjoy athletics and have fun with it . He told me to have patience with it , make sure you keep enjoying it and you will get serious when you get a bit older and start to take it more seriously but don ’ t put pressure on yourself to perform . No matter whatever anyone says or writes , make sure you ’ re always having a good time . He ’ s good like that . I can take that into this year . I like to think I always have a great time when I go to compete . I always give a big smile before races because you never get bored of that feeling ; people cheering for you and making you feel like ‘ wow ’ all this training you ’ ve done in the winter and throwing up on the track , all the hard slog is worth it . It ’ s a brilliant feeling . Hopefully I can get a bit more serious , now that I ’ ve just finished uni and I will start to get a bit more competitive with those guys . I don ’ t think Bolt will be too worried about me at the moment , he ’ s something special when he gets himself into shape and competing . I ’ m very lucky to be around at this time when he ’ s at his peak and running . To be in the mix and be a part of these guys is nice . Bolt has been beaten before , which shows he is only human . After those guys have retired — sprinters like Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin — it ’ s quite open for people to step in and take the mantle . Obviously the American and Jamaican sprinters have always been the top dogs , they are very powerful nations and hard guys to beat . In Britain and Europe we have some great young names coming through that can go on and push the performances up . I ’ d like to think there is a chance for British sprinters to step into the void . We don ’ t do the sport to come second or third . You do the sport to try to be the best . There will be a nice little gap opening and it will encourage a lot of people to step up their performance .
