After setting 100m and 200m world records, Usain Bolt is now aiming to break the 19 second barrier for 200m.
According to the BBC, the 28-year-old Jamaican set both current world records, 9.58 seconds for 100m and 19.19 seconds for 200m, at the 2009 World Championships.
Bolt said that everybody wants to see the 100m go but the 200m was for him.
He said that if he gets a perfect season where he could work without any injuries and with no time off, he will definitely have the chance to break the 100m world record.
He said that his personal focus was on the 200m run, adding that one of his biggest goals was to try to run sub-19.
