Bolt aims for 9.7 in Czech sprint

OLYMPIC champion Usain Bolt hopes to clock 9.7 seconds in the 100 meters at the Golden Spike meeting in the Czech Republic on Friday as he continues his preparations for the London Games.

Arriving in the eastern Czech city of Ostrava, Bolt said yesterday he was happy with his season start but wanted to improve on the 9.82 he set in his sole race this year in Kingston on May 5.

"I think I am in a great shape. My coach is very happy with where I am at, and I am very happy with it also," he said.

"So I'm definitely going out there to run, probably 9.7 would be good for me.

"I definitely want to improve on my last Olympic Games. Run fast, win more golds," he said. "Hopefully I can break those records at the Olympic games, it would be a wonderful feat. I'm really looking forward to it and training toward it."
