Before yesterday?s final, Bolt had declared he was aiming to beat his own world record of 19.19 seconds, but fell just short as he crossed the line with a time of 19.32 seconds. ?I was fast but I wasn?t fit enough,? he admitted. ?I came off the corner, I could feel the strain on my back a little bit, so I was trying to keep my form,? he said. ?But I stopped running because I knew it wasn?t going to be a world record.
