At what distance would the two best (male) track runners be competitive with one another? Bolt would obviously win at 400m and Bekele at 1500m and up. I'm guessing 600m is the point where they're about even.

40m should be an even proving ground. As an added benefit this time is useful for NFL scouts.
I think this would generate some ratings... advertise it WR holder against WR holder. Fox did something with sprinters vs. animals. i recall a midget and a giraffe.
This has been discussed many times on here. I think the general agreement is 600m would be the best distance for a close race. Someone even while interviewing Micheal Johnson asked him who would win this race if it ever happened, he said Bolt. I disagree.
I think 600 is about right. 800 or 400 would be completely one sided.
the commanders cup har har har!
While I do think it would be fairly close, I'm not sure Bekele can run much faster than he does at the end of his 10k. A little faster, sure, but not enough to counter Bolt's power.
Bekele would never make up the distance in enough time.
666 meters, appropriate number for two druggies....

In an interview where he talks about Bolt, he said his 100m best is 11.00 seconds.
