Bolt makes pledge to beat Tyson Gay
Jamaica's outstanding 200-metre runner Usain Bolt has pledged to beat man of the moment Tyson Gay of the United States.
Bolt, who ran second to Gay in the 200-metre final on Friday, conceded in an IAAF website story that Gay was the better man now, but he is harbouring thoughts of defeating him eventually.
Gay landed gold and completed the sprint double when he won the half-lap sprint in a championship record 19.76 seconds on Friday, chased by Bolt who clocked 19.91 seconds for silver.
"Tyson was the better man on the day, but hopefully, next time, I will get him," Bolt said.
"I tried hard, but for the moment he (Gay) is unbeatable. I think I did pretty well, but I would have liked to win the gold," added Bolt, after capturing his first major championships medal.
Winner of the World Junior title in 2002 and the World Youth title in 2003, Bolt said he will do whatever it takes to beat Gay next season.
Bolt, who is the World Junior record holder at 19.93, and Central American and Caribbean record holder at 19.75, admitted, however, that it is going to take hard work and dedication to beat Gay.
"It's all about hard work and training and getting everything right, and running a perfect race on the day," said the Jamaican, who turned 21 years old last month.
