Usain Bolt targets to break his own world record at 200m

Usain Bolt: Wants to break his own 200m record "It's all about not getting injured this season. That's my focus, and then we're going to try to push myself and hopefully get the world record and it will all
work out."

With no major championship next year to distract him, Bolt wants to beat his record of 19.19 seconds.
Bolt, who was last week named IAAF male World Athlete of the Year for a fifth time, captured yet another triple gold haul at the world championships in Moscow this summer, defending his 100 and 200m titles before anchoring the Jamaican team to victory in the 4x100 relay.
 
But he did not break any records this year and he wants to put that right in 2014.
"Definitely for this season me and my coach have decided to focus on running faster because there is no championship, so we are definitely targeting the 200 metres," he said.

He prays he stays injury free so his training can go well.
Bolt set the current 200 world mark of 19.19s and the 100 record of 9.58 at the world championships in Berlin in 2009.
