but then he'd lose fast twicthy and couldn't run 9.68 in the 100.
Its a give and take game. Look at the distance runners for a lesson in how this works. Webb could run 27:34 for a 10k but totally blew up in his specialty the Mile. Even though he ran 1:43.85, he couldn't run 1:43 when he was running 27:34. And, he probably couldn't touch sub 28 when he was running 1:43.
Thats how these things work.
So say Bolt goes after the 400 and runs a wr in 42.5 or something. Do you think he's still going to be running 9.68 or 19.30?
I'm not saying its not possible, just that stupid people thinking that Bolt can do everything are misguided. substantially.
Its not easy to do...even MJ had problems switching back and forth between the 400 and the 200. And you think Usain Bolt will easily move between 100 and 400? lol!
Bolt had to run 8 races winning the 100 and 200. Adding the 400 to that, in addition to the finals of the 4x1 and 4x4 would bring that too 14 races in little less than 8 days.
There is no way he could do that. He is 100% fast twitch. Compare that to Phelps or Bekele who have much more slow twitch and can thus recover. 14 races for a swimmer is hard. 14 races of any sort for a track athlete? Impossible. Bolt will never be able to do it. I will pay 1000000 to the first black man I see if he does in 2012.
Thats 5 Gold medals in 14 races. On the track, versus whatever the U.S has in 4 years. Don't let the Jamaican or racial pride go to your head.
