USAIN Bolt is aiming to go one better than the legendary Carl Lewis and defend his Olympic sprint double at London 2012.
Lewis won the 100m and 200m in Los Angeles but could only bank a gold and silver four years later in Seoul.
And Bolt – who scorched to a new 150m world record at the BUPA Great City Games in Manchester – wants to move upgrade his superstar status to legend in London.
“I want to be a legend and defending my titles would be the way to do that,” he said.
“It will not be easy but no great feat is ever easy.”
Bolt carved four tenths of a second off the previous world best despite competing under slate gray skies and teeming rain.
And with rivals Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay monitoring his performance, and shamed sprinter Dwain Chambers still babbling about his chances despite a disappointing weekend performance, Bolt promised there is more to come.
“I still have a lot of work to do but I’m getting there,” added Bolt.
“I think this has helped because I haven’t run a serious race all season. I think I could go faster because I’m not in the best of shape and I slipped at the start.
“I am hoping by Berlin I will be 100 percent and I’m not trying to peak before then.”
