Usain Bolt not expecting to break 200m record in Diamond League

  



Usain Bolt says he will not try to break the 200m world record at the Diamond League meeting in Lausanne.
The six-time Olympic champion heads a field of 19 London 2012 gold medallists at the Pontaise Stadium on Thursday.
Bolt will race against compatriots Warren Weir, Jason Young and Nickel Ashmeade and the USA's Wallace Spearmon in the 200m.

"I am not worried about world records right now - I am just trying to get through the season," said the Jamaican.
Bolt is the current 200m world record holder, with a time of 19.19 seconds in the 2009 World Championship final in Berlin, but he does not expect to come close to that mark in Lausanne.
"It can be one of those tracks (to break world records), in great shape and in great weather," he said. "But I'm just trying to end this season injury-free, because it has been a stressful season for me.
