Tyson Gay, world's 'second fastest man' visits Boston

BOSTON (WHDH) -- An Olympic sprinter stopped by Boston as he prepares for the London Olympic Games.

Tyson Gay received a $25,000 check from Gillette on Monday. The money will support his former high school's track team in Lexington, Kentucky.

Tyson is coming off two hip surgeries, but he still has big goals this summer.

"I have to bring home a medal for my family, I mean a gold medal, and nothing less," he said. “It's a once in a lifetime experience and I think it's going to be the greatest Olympics of all times and I just really want to be a part of it."

Tyson is currently considered to be the second fastest man in the world. To win gold in London, he'll have to beat the fastest man, Jamaica’s Usain Bolt.
