Crown Him Again - Bolt Reclaims World Champs Title Despite Sore Legs

Aug 12, 2013

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Gleaner - Freshly minted 100m World champion Usain Bolt is delighted to have regained the title he lost two years ago, but admitted disappointment at not testing his own 9.58-second world record in the 100m final at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics inside the Luzhniki Stadium yesterday. "Overall, it was good. I can't complain; it was a good run," Bolt said before noting that soreness in his legs from the previous round changed his priority to simply winning the gold medal without injuring himself. "The world record? I thought about it. I wanted to come here and run as fast as possible, but after the semi-final, my legs felt a little sore. But for me, it was better to be safe than sorry, so I came just to execute and win and that's what I did," Bolt told The Gleaner.
