Usain Bolt explains why he can't break his own record

Bolt, who evaluated his career on The Fix podcast, stated that he was at the peak of his form in the 2011 season, and said, “I was literally floating in the air that year. My runs were incredibly good and my coach was very excited. It was the first time I heard him say, ‘We’re going to break this record.’”

However, the legendary athlete stated that injuries and his false start in Daegu 2011 stopped him and expressed his regret by saying, "If I hadn't been injured, I could have broken my own record. This opportunity was right in front of me."

The 2011 World Athletics Championships is etched in memory as one of the rare times when Bolt could not continue his gold medal streak. The Jamaican was very disappointed when he failed to make a false start in the 100-meter final and was eliminated from the race. However, Bolt won gold medals in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m in every major championship between 2009 and 2015, establishing a dominance rarely seen in history with this success.

Bolt, who thinks that records will continue to be broken, emphasized that athletics is constantly evolving. The Jamaican, who stated that new technological shoe spikes and training methods are changing the sport, said, “Anything is possible. Athletics is evolving very quickly. Records are meant to be broken, but it will take some time.”

While no athlete has come close to Bolt's time in recent years, the best time achieved by American athletes Trayvon Bromell and Fred Kerley, at 9.76, was far from the legendary name's record of 9.58.

Usain Bolt remains the greatest sprinter of all time, with eight Olympic golds and eleven world titles. He also holds a 100-metre world record, as well as a 200-metre record of 19.19, set in Berlin in 2009, which remains unbroken.
