Greene wants 'his' record back
13 April 2012
World and Olympic champion Maurice Greene has vowed to regain the world 100 metres record next season.
Fellow American Tim Montgomery set a world best of 9.78 seconds in the Grand Prix final in Paris on Saturday, beating Britain's Dwain Chambers into second place and eclipsing Greene's three-year-old mark by 0.01 seconds.
"The time I've got in my head is 9.76. My coach thinks I can run 9.6-something. We'll have to see," Greene said, after finishing fifth in the 100 metres at the Yokohama Super Track and Field meeting today.
"I knew when I broke the record it wouldn't last forever, but it belongs to me. It will come home."
