Whaaat--When I said that Blake is currently faster than Bolt, I meant it literally--right now he has a slightly better corrected time, 9.86 to 9.90. Even last year, Blake ran two corrected 9.82's to Bolt's one.

I do not deny that Bolt is capable of beating Blake, or anybody, at any particular time...however, he is just as capable of losing, IMHO.

That race in which Bolt just got edged out by Powell, if you watch closely, you can see that Bolt is massively gaining and their feet are even at the finish, but Powell won because he went for the lean, whereas Bolt did not. IMO Bolt would have won had he leaned, as Gatlin did recently.

I still think you will see something extraordinary from Blake this year, and that Bolt has a 50/50 chance of non-trivial injury.


I am not convinced about Blake this year.

Looks to me that he has hit the weight room too much.

And he seems to have benefited from those weights more than many body builders.
