Breaking 4×100 record a difficult task this time, says Bolt
MOSCOW – Usain Bolt believes it’s going to be hard to break the men’s 4x100m record achieved at last year’s London Olympic Games.
In London, the quartet of Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Yohan Blake and Bolt combined for the first sub-37 seconds clocking, 36.84 seconds, to erase the 37.04 mark Carter, Frater, Bolt and Asafa Powell set at the Berlin World Championships in 2009.
Asked if the Jamaican team, without Frater and Blake, can lower the record, Bolt replied, “I can’t answer that” while noting “I will always do my part.” “As long as everybody do their part, we have some good athletes, some good competitors, so hopefully we can get the baton around, get it around quickly, and hopefully it will work out, but it’s going to be hard because we kind of put the record at a certain level,” the world’s leading sprinter added.
Meanwhile, he emphasised that he is in Moscow to win both sprints and he is happy with his latest training sessions.
“Everything will come good together,” he said while adding Wednesday’s workout was “on my starts and it felt good so when everything comes together you may never know (what might happen).”
