    Just a recap of what he got up to over the last week!

    There have been some brilliant quotes..... one I rememeber was along the lines of... "how fast can he go - as quick as he wants".

    Pretty much true. I think 9.4 something is achievable in the 100 and sub 19 seconds when he's fresh in the 200. Considering he was a 200/400m runner as a junior could he even be the first athlete to take the 100,200 and 400m treble at the 2012 Olympics?!?
    He wants to compete in the long jump now too!

    I think they asked him if he would do the 100, 200 and 400 but he said that would be too much!

      Like Carl Lewis. I think indeed running the 100,200 and 400 m on WC and Olympic games is too much as you have to run too many races. Wonder I far he will jump with that basic speed. The world record is 8.95 m and from 1991 already...
      I saw that going differently in my mind

        He'll probably jump over the sand-pit. It only looked to go to about 9.5m ....

        His top-speed in the 100 was around 45Km/h !!! How long is your typical long-jumper in the air for?? I can smell another WR.

          Yeah if he does he will probably break his legs and..it will even be impossible to measure the world record as well ...

          However, Carl Lewis - a reference - doesn't have the same physical characteristics as Bolt, Lewis looking much lighter. Anyway I feel a new 'His Royal Airness' is in the making.

            Somehow I feel Bolt is taking performance enhancing something. i don't know what cos the reason being he never ran below 10 sec before 2008 and suddenly he is so far ahead of everyone its not funny. Only time will tell if i am right but if he is playing fair he is one hell of an athlete
