Usain Bolt says he will beat the year's fastest time for the 100 metres when he faces Jamaican rival Asafa Powell in Paris on Friday.
Bolt clocked 9.82 seconds in Lausanne, Switzerland, on July 8, 2010, matching Powell's time in Rome last month.
The two will race against each other for the first time this season, in a highly anticipated showdown at the Diamond League meet at the Stade de France.
Bolt, who is in Belgium, says the time will definitely be faster on Friday.
The Paris race will be his third 100 metre competition of the season.
Bolt also clocked 9.86 seconds in Daegu, South Korea, in May.
