Usain Bolt's coach has sent out a chilling warning to his sprinting rivals by claiming the Jamaican can go even quicker this year.

The Lightning Bolt struck with devastating effect at the Beijing Olympics, with a sprint treble that shock the world.

Bolt took gold in the 100m, 200m and the 4x100m, all in new world record times as he became one of the biggest stars ever seen in the Olympics.

The giant sprinter looked particularly impressive when easing down in the 100m final despite setting a frightening new world record time, but apparently there is still more to come.

Coach Glen Mills has identified three major faults with Bolt, all of which he believes can be fixed to make the towering Jamaican even quicker.

Starting

"We have identified three major things with his starting that we feel we can correct this coming season," Mills said.

"I feel that within the next two seasons he is going to become one of the fastest starters you've ever seen at 6ft 5in.

"We can certainly guarantee that nobody is going to leave him in the blocks anymore."

With Bolt still only 22 and still learning his trade, the words from his coach will send shivers down the spines of his rivals, who could be seeing a lot more of Bolt's back as he disappears in front of them on the track in 2009.

"I don't know how fast Bolt can go, but I know he can go faster," Mills added.

"I know he can much faster because we're just beginning."
