Bolt 'just beginning' warns coach

Usain Bolt
Bolt believes he can lower his world records in the 100m and 200m

Usain Bolt's coach Glen Mills says the Olympic sprint sensation will run even faster once he has made improvements to his starting technique.

Bolt, 22, set world records in winning the 100m and 200m in Beijing and also helped Jamaica take 4x100m gold in a new world mark.

Mills said: "We have identified three major things with his starting that we feel we can correct this coming season.

"We can guarantee that nobody is going to leave him in the blocks anymore."

Bolt stunned his Olympic rivals by winning the 100m in 9.69 seconds while easing down, then broke Michael Johnson's long-standing 200m record with a run of 19.30 secs.

Mills added: "I don't know how fast Bolt can go, but I know he can go much faster because we're just beginning."
