FILE - In this Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011 file photo, Jamaica's Usain Bolt, third from bottom, false starts from the men's 100-meter final at the World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea. Bolt was disqualified. Under the zero-tolerance false-start rule in place for the London Olympics, a sprinter's mistimed jump from the blocks could destroy four years of hard work in an instant.

It's not easy catching up with the fastest man in the world. Just ask tennis star Novak Djokovic who's been searching in vain.

He's probably wasting his time. An Olympic official hinted Thursday that Bolt is not staying in the athletes village. It's not so much a question of Bolt preferring swankier accommodations. As one of the highest-profile athletes in these games, it would be difficult for him to move around without attracting large crowds.

It's a big city, and he's no slouch. But he's got to turn up somewhere, right?
