I could See Usain Bolt pulling a George Foreman (Foreman Retired for over 10 Years, his weight Balooned to over 400 pounds, he decided to come back and won The World Championship.
Bolt has not gained weight (Not Noticeably) I could see him coming back in 2028 or 2032 and winning Gold in either 100, 200 or 400, He has tons more talent than anybody, so if someone beats his record or he misses Track, I could see him coming back and breaking World Records and Winning Gold Medals if Foreman did it in a MUCH HARDER SPORT like Boxing why not Bolt who does not have a weight problem as an obstacle?
In the 400? Someone's lost touch with reality.
Bolt ran 45.35 as a 16 Year Old and everyone thought he would be a 200-400 Runner, When he ran the 100 and 200 in big meets, people were surprised he did not do the 200 and 400 double instead.

I second for Morgan Uceny. Seems like she never quite unleashed her full capability. Under better coaching/tactics I think she had world class potential.

She is Still Running, She ran in Irvine in May, Only 52 seconds for the 400 though, she ran a lot of races last year, She is only 27 so hopefully she gets back to her College form when she ran 49.71 for 400
Would love to see Abebe Bikila running through Rome knowing what I know now.

He's too lazy to train for, much less race, the 400. Doesn't have the mentality for it.

Slightly more seriously, is a comeback a comeback if you're better (as an oldster) than you ever were?
Sara Hall.
Jesus H. Christ, when are you people gonna realize the longevity Sara has had has been solely due to the sacrifices Ryan made. All those payday 'thons when he should have been running track & cross country.
Hell, that first Asics contract of hers was significantly due to her association with Ryan. If she had been romantic with Ian Dobson instead of Ryan would she have got her first Asics contract? All those years in her twenties when she had the luxury of running shorter stuff. Hell, even experimenting with the steeple. Ummm, ever heard of 2010 Pan Am steeple champion?
With the support of Ryan she SHOULD have longevity. All those high altitude resorts she could afford to train at. It just galls me that Ryan doesn't get 71.9935% (rounded off) of the credit for Sara's longevity. Not saying Sara doesn't have running talents (she clearly does), but she wasn't forced onto the roads too soon.
Every day Sara should get down on bended knee and thank Ryan for what he has done for her.
Fair?

We are seeing two comebacks in process... Ryan hall vs nick symonds in 500/5:00 challenge
