Australian sprint sensation Eddie Nketia is talking up his potential to run even faster at the Commonwealth Games after a succession of eye-catching times.
Nketia will make his Australian debut in Glasgow after switching late last year from New Zealand. He is one of the headline names in the 86-athlete track and field team named on Monday.
The 25-year-old's performances in the last few months have featured a wind-assisted 9.74 seconds for the blue-riband 100m. The Commonwealth Games record is Usain Bolt's 9.88 seconds, set at Glasgow in 2014.
Bolt set the world record of 9.58 in 2009.
Asked at the team announcement if he can run faster, Nketia replied: "I would love to - I want to run as fast as I can. If we can get a 9.6, we get a 9.6, if we can get the world record, we get the world record.
