Athletics: Gay to focus on ‘Bolt’ challenge
“I’ll limit the number of races I’ll do this year. I’ll be smart,” said Gay.
NEW YORK:
US sprinter Tyson Gay will limit his races this World Championship season and expects to focus more on the 100-metre as he seeks to remain fit enough to challenge Jamaican sprint king Usain Bolt. “I’ll limit the number of races I’ll do this year. I’ll be smart,” said Gay said as he prepared for Saturday’s Diamond League meeting in New York. Gay said he has been nursing a nagging right hip injury since February but he will not go into the Diamond League meeting, or any other, worrying about fitness.
