USAIN BOLT remained on track for a second gold medal after breezing into today’s semi-finals of the 200m by winning his heat in 20.41secs at the World Championships in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium.
The 22-year-old Jamaican believes another world record is not on the cards in the 200m, but after his stunning run of 9.58 seconds in the 100m on Sunday, nothing can be ruled out.
“I will get to the final and just execute,” Bolt said. “I will be running hard. After six races I am feeling all right, a little tired but nothing a night’s rest won’t cure.”
Marlon Devonish, Britain’s sole representative following the withdrawals of Dwain Chambers and Toby Sandeman, also advanced after finishing third in his heat in 20.66secs.
The 33-year-old 2004 Olympic relay gold medallist said: “I have a lot of work to do, I’ll have to be quicker.”
Sarah Claxton qualified for the semi-finals of the 100m hurdles finishing fourth in her heat in 12.86secs, but Perri Shakes-Drayton and Eilidh Child were unable to make the 400m hurdles final after coming seventh and sixth.
