Justin Gatlin eclipsed Usain Bolt's Rome Diamond League record by storming to victory in the 100m last night.
The American sprinter clocked a time of 9.75s, the seventh-fastest time in history, to beat Bolt's previous time of 9.76s in Rome in 2012.
Bolt and Gatlin will battle it out at the World Championships in Beijing this August, but Gatlin insisted that he is not thinking about that just yet.
He told BBC Sport: "The key thing to keep winning is to not think about it. I do not think of beating Bolt because the championships are not tomorrow - we still have some time to come."
Gatlin, who has served two bans for doping, ran 9.74 in the opening Diamond League of the season back in May.
