When Usain Bolt broke the 100 metres world record in New York at the end of May, he thought he had run the perfect race. His coach, Glen Mills, disagreed but the sprinter still does not know what he did wrong. "He never tells me unless it's major," says Bolt. "It's just stuff we work on in training. He might say I have to raise up a bit more, and I kind of figure that may have been the problem in the last race."
