Allen produces his best
ATHENS. Aug 8: After winning two world championship titles and an Olympic gold medal in three years. there's only one thing left for Allen Johnson to attain. A world record, reports AP.
Johnson could have that before long, too — maybe as early as next week.
The 26-year-old American equalled the thlrd-fastest time in history and came within .02 seconds of the record in winning the 110-metre hurdles Thursday night at the World Championships.
With British rival and world •record-holder Colin Jackson in the next lane, Johnson burst quickly from the blocks, was comfortably ahead over the first hurdle and held the lead the rest of the way to win in 12.93 seconds.
Jackson, the 1993 world champion who has battled back to top form after a series of injuries. took the silver in 13.05. Slovakia's Igor Kovac got, thi^d ,
onships (1995). Olympics (1996), World Championsnips (1997). This was the toughest one by far because I had the pressure of being the defending champ."
"Now I have to see if I can win two straight Olympics."
Before that. Johnson should
have a shot at breaking the world record of 12.91 that Jack-son set at the 1993 worlds in Stuttgart.
Johnson said he wasn't going for the record Thursday because he wanted above will to retain his title.
We ran three times in four days and that takes a lot out of you." he said. "If I was going for the record, I could have made a mistake and Colin could have shot past me. I ran a little conservatively."
But Johnson said he expects the record to go eventually.
The world record is important to me and I want to break it." he said. "If everything goes well, the record will me mine when the time comes."
How soon?
"I'll try to get that world record in Zurich." he said, referring to the big-money meet in Switzerland next Wednesday.
Jackson, who also is scheduled to run in the same meet, agreed the record could be in danger then.
"We re both capable of going under .13.90^ ■ he said. W«n push ourselves and break that record. It might even happen in Zurich next week."
For once. Johnson was able to savor a victory without being overshadowed by that other Johnson — Michael. In Atlanta last year. Michael Johnson set his astonishing world record in the 200 on the same night Allen
set a Games' record in winning the hurdles gold.
"There are a lot of Johnsons." Allen said. "Lawrence Johnson. Michael Johnson. I Just want to be the No 1 Allen Johnson."
