MONACO -- Usain Bolt claims he'll be happy to successfully defend both sprint titles and stay injury-free at the world championships, ruling out the prospect of lowering his 100-meter world record.
The Jamaican will take on European champion Christophe Lemaitre of France and teammates Nesta Carter and Michael Frater at the Diamond League meet in Monaco on Friday. It's his last 100 before the worlds open Aug. 27 in Daegu, South Korea.
After being hampered by injuries last season, Bolt's season-best time of 9.91 seconds is well short of his world mark.
"I'm not where I want to be. It is getting better but it's a long way from 9.58, for sure," Bolt said at a news conference Thursday. "I don't think I'll be in that form this season. But I definitely need to get to 9.6, 9.7. I'm working hard, I'm trying to stay focused on the job I have and it's coming together."
