I'm guessing he will not run all out. He will be a good 10-25m ahead of everyone by 250m and will also start to feel tired around there, so he'll probably "jog" the last 100m. I'm guessing a 45.x.
I saw Tyson Gay split a 47high/48low in a relay in 2007 or 2008, and he looked like he was not enjoying himself, though he was clearly not all out either. I think Bolt has more potential at 400m than Gay does though.
Your right I don't think he cares enough yet to try for the entire 400.
No faster than 45; I'd predict 45.4.
i predict 45.3, you are stupid for thinking it will be 45.4. he obviously wont have all his spikes screwed in for this early season meet
46.18
43.89 - jogging.
Bolt ran 45.3 at age 16. I think this suggests a bright future in the 400--if he seriously tries for it--every bit as much as his accomplishments at 200m do.
I don't know whether he is making any serious effort to prepare to race 400m right now, or if this is just a tune up for some 200s and 100s later down the road.
That said, I don't imagine he's ready to give a full effort in a 400m race right now. That is not to say that I don't think he can run fast right now, but I doubt that he will seriously try to. I would be surprised if he doesn't hold the WR for 400m 4 years from now, but I'll be surprised if he runs much faster than 45-low next week.
44 flat looking smooth!
bolt will run fast and smooth like a gazelle , grace.
tjhat's what i say.
the time is irrelevant. but a 43 wouldn't surprise me.
the 400 is probably his best event.

Maybe this is a stupid question: Indoors or out?
It is an indoor meet!!!
They're not going to have an outdoor meet with all that snow on the ground!
No man will ever run a 9.58 and then run a sub 45 in the same year.
He goes for the world record in the 400 he loses any chance to break the record again in the 100.
new 400m world record
you heard it here first

No, we didn't
there are plenty of half witted idiots out there with the same delusions.
He will lose 100m races if he chases the 400m WR seriously.
Has it ever snowed in Jamaica? It's outdoor.
At last years event he ran 46.35.
haha yo, you were close.... ".01"
