It's off season, so not chasing any records: Bolt

The world's fastest man Usain Bolt clocked a superb 200 metres time of 19.76 seconds to win on the second stop of the IAAF Diamond League tour in Shanghai despite being given a difficult lane draw at the Chinese venue.

Bolt arrived at the meeting to find he had been given lane six, which is not considered the best when attacking the crown of the bend after the start of the race. But it seemed to make little difference to the 23-year-old Jamaican as he made light of a strong breeze in the home straight to produce a world-class performance.






"I said I'm not going to chase the records. I said it doesn't matter if I get beaten this season because this season is the off season. If Tyson decides that he wants to beat the record, fine. For me, even if he wants to go chasing, I don't."
