Usain Bolt - World's fastest 100m Running world records 2012
USAIN Bolt currently holds the world's fastest 100m time of 9.58 seconds, run in Berlin three years ago. However, he has always claimed that 9.4s is achievable.
When the Jamaican arrives for London 2012 he will be under enormous pressure not only to defend his Olympic title at 100m, 200m and in the sprint relay, but also to set new world records. That could prove difficult, according to coach Glen Mills, who points to a potentially slippy London track.
"I don't think it [9.4s] is impossible," Mills said in The Daily Telegraph. "Usain Bolt has set his sights on achieving greater heights. He is quite aware that his work is not done yet.
"But he'd have to have the right conditions and I'm not sure London is going to be kind."
Mills has more than one athlete aiming for 100m glory this year, with Blake the reigning world champion capable of a personal best 9.82s. When it comes to London 2012, Mills does not expect a one-man show.
"I think he (Blake) has now developed to the point where he is ready to compete at the Olympic level at both events (100m and 200m)," Mills said.
Bolt, it is felt, could add the 4x400m Olympic medal to his collection if he entered for the event in London, but Mills explained that such a decision would likely end up stopping the sprinter from retaining his sprint titles.
Mills, 62, said he sees no problem with Bolt having to potentially race at London against athletes who have served doping bans such as Britain’s Dwain Chambers and American Justin Gatlin. “I don’t believe somebody should be banned for life,” Mills said. “You should be given a chance to redeem yourself.
“One would hope the persons who have found themselves in trouble with that would have learned their lessons and operate under the fairness of competition and stay away from drugs.
“The rules are that if you commit an offence you are punished and after you serve your time you are reinstated. We have to compete under the rules. I don’t really have a problem… Even people who commit murder are given pardons.”
Bolt has spoken often about securing his status as a living legend, but Mills said that catchphrase is Bolt’s way of focusing on his main goals, defending three Olympic titles. “He has set that ‘Living Legend’ theme as a motivation to maintain his high standard of training and level of performance,” Mills said. “He has set his criteria of defending his gold medals in London as his objective.”
