The sprint sensation also noted that he is not under any pressure to do well and he will only focus on his goals.
"There is no pressure on me at all this year because mentally, I am stable. Yes, most certainly I can run a lot faster. Because seeing the little that I did and I made the most of it, I am very optimistic that I can do more now and the results are going to be greater. Injury-wise I am good. I am far better now than last season, and we are managing it,” he said.
