Usain Bolt said he did not feel American Michael Johnson’s 200-metre World and Olympic record will be under threat in the final.
The 21 year old admitted yesterday he was beginning to feel the effects of his rigorous schedule.
As a result, he said he is not seriously thinking about attempting to break the record.
Bolt has so far ran seven races in four days after his heroics in the 100 metres at the weekend.
He stands poised to become the first runner in 20 years to capture the Olympic sprint double.
Bolt won the 100 metres in world record time on Saturday and enters the 200 metres as the heavy favourite to win again.
