Isn't even funny. Bolt HAD a 43.6 relay leg during 2010 PRESEASON.

Rudisha is a 45 low/flat runner at his peak.

The race should be over 500 meters, in a special-sized track.

Bolt wins in 44.88

Agree Bolt would be slower nowadays though

Bolt is a spinter

Rudisha is a middle distance runner

400m is a sprint event

"Truth is, Bolt and Rudisha at 400 isn�t a fair fight. Bolt has run 43 splits, Rudisha isn�t 43 capable. At 500m, though, you have a race." -- Ato Boldon

Truth.

Has this actually happened, I always seemed to catch the races where he ran in the 46/45 zone

I'd expect Rudisha to similarly be in the 45 zone.

No, it didn't happen.

I debunked this on another thread last night.

It should be a 500. 400 will be too lopsided toward Bolt, 600 too much toward Rudisha.

514 yds would be fair

Ok, but what does Ato Boldon know about sprinting?

This has to be the stupid comment of the decade. If you don't know who Ato Boldon is (was), YOU don't know anything about sprinting. I believe he still holds the 100m track record at Mt. Sac at 9.86.

He knows about track but more about beating drug tests.
