Deejay Sagitarr, whose ode to speedster Usain Bolt caught the ear of the sprint king, is calling victory for the defending champion in today’s World Championships 200 metres final in Beijing.

Sagitarr, whose song The Usain Bolt Anthem racked up a staggering 20,000-plus views on YouTube within hours of being posted last month, says he is confident that the ‘real big man’ will come through and add to his 100 metres gold.

“He’s so fast, so speedy that I have no doubt that he will win in the 200. He might even break his own world record. But even if he doesn’t, he is so good that he must. (Justin) Gatlin will hold a little second. The boss will give him a t’ing,” said Sagitarr.

He said he had no expectation ‘Anthem’ would become a hit. He just wanted to pay his respect and also give something to the superstar sprinter’s fans.

“I was just trying a t’ing for all the people out there who really love sports. It’s not a wagonist thing.”

Sagitarr, whose given name is Lascelles David Beckford, is looking forward to meeting Bolt.
