Usain Bolt Breaks World Indoor Record For 100m

The world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt has broken
the previous unofficial 100m indoor world record

of 10.05 set by Namibian Frankie Fredericks in
1996.
Jamaican sprinter and Six-time Olympic
champion Usain Bolt broke 10 seconds for the
first time this season when he won a 100m race
under a closed roof at the National Stadium in
Warsaw on Saturday.
The Jamaican clocked 9.98 seconds into a slight
breeze at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial in
front of a 20,000 crowd on a new track laid
down the side of the infield.
Bolt’s first Polish outing was his third race this
season as he builds up to Thursday’s Diamond
League meeting in Zurich and saw him set a
new best time for the infrequently run 100
indoors.
Bolt anchored Jamaica to 4x100m gold at the
Commonwealth Games in Glasgow last month
and last weekend won an exhibition race on
Brazil’s Copacabana beach in a time of 10.06.
His nearest rival in Warsaw was fellow Jamaican
Sheldon Mitchell, who ran 10.33, but in Zurich
will face three sub-10 sprinters plus Britain’s
European 200m champion Adam Gemili.
A statement from the organisers said Bolt’s
coach, Glen Mills, was satisfied with the
sprinter’s performances on his comeback from
the foot injury which had delayed his start to
the season, but “feels it is now time to shut it
down while he is healthy and injury free with a
view on his preparations for the 2015 season”.
The six-time Olympic champion, who will
resume training in October, will be looking to
retain his world 100m and 200m crowns at the
World Championships in Beijing next year.
