Bolt last weekend in Poland did 9.98 seconds in the 100m event that he competed in,but he has now decided to rest for the remainder of the year.
The Jamaican has been struggling with injuries this season and has made limited appearances in events this year.
It is understood that Bolt's coach Glen Mills made the call to have him rest till next season,now that he is still healthy and injury free,so as to be fit and ready to compete in 2015.
Patrick Magyar, Meeting Director of Weltklasse Zurich, regrets but understands Bolt and his coach’s decision: “Usain’s body has delivered tremendous performances over the last years but it is a body and not a machine. If an athlete of that level and his coach feel more rest is needed, we are certainly not going to question this and fully support this decision.”
