LeBron mulls over Olympic decision


Miami Heat star LeBron James said that to committing to the US Olympic team is a tough decision for him.

LeBron James is one of the massive name in basketball and had previously put his name forward for London 2012.

But the 26-year-old, who was an integral part of the US team that won Olympic gold in Beijing, admits he is reluctant to give an official thumbs up until his team-mates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh reach their own conclusions.

"These two [Wade and Bosh] don't know if they're going yet and if they don't go then it's definitely a tougher decision for myself," James told national sports agency Sportsbeat.

"I've got to roll with my guys, so we'll see what happens.

"I've been to London before and it's a great city. Basketball is continuing to spread. Even though we know it's a huge soccer town, the game of basketball is getting bigger every day."

James had previously stated he would be available, if called on by US coach Mike Krzyzewski.

"Hopefully I'm healthy enough to be a part of that team. Coach K has my number," he said, last year.

Wade was part of the Miami Heat team that visited London for an exhibition game against the New Jersey Nets in 2008 but the 29-year-old appears lukewarm about returning.

"I think we have to see what the best opportunity is for us at that time and where we possibly fit in," he explained.

"And it's about a lot of other things as well. It's an honour for us to even be considered for the team. We'll see.

"London is awesome and I know they're going to put on a first class Olympics. I got the chance to go with Miami for the pre-season. The fans were amazing and we had a great time."

Farah set for 'Little Beirut'

Double European champion Mo Farah in order to boost his chances of Olympic glory in London now decided to shift to a city nicknamed "Little Beirut".

Last summer in Barcelona Farah was able to grab a historic double in the 5,000 and 10,000 metresand went on to break David Moorcroft's 28-year-old British 5,000m record for good measure.

"Last year was a great year for me, but if I'm ever going to get close to a medal in a world championships or Olympics in 2012 something needed to change a little bit," Farah said.

"Alberto is someone who I have always seen as a great coach and looked up to. He's coached many of the great athletes, he was a great athlete himself. I've met him a couple of times and got on very well with him and I believe he can just make that 1-2% difference to get close to a medal.

"It hasn't been an easy decision and I guess you might ask why change something when everything's going so well...that 1-2% could be a medal, that could be gold or silver.

"Alan Storey has helped me so much. I finished sixth and seventh in the World Championships (in 2007 and 2009 respectively) and he's a great coach, but for me to move forward that little bit I believe Alberto can make that difference.

"I don't want to change too much yet but I think he will introduce me to a lot of different things. I respect him and he's not afraid to do things."
