Should be interesting, 45.33 I predict..

Camperdown Classic, Kingston.

46:08. He wont hit 45

I think he has already run 45ish, I'm guessing he has maintained/improved his endurance enough to run at least that

But will he try?

45ish is without trying, so no he won't try.

Your right. He did drop a 45.5. But if I remember correctly, he looked like he was falling apart at the end of the race. If he improved his endurance then I think he can hit 45.1. I am not sold on him being stellar in the quarter.

Don't you think he can hit 43.55?

Here's the gold standard to measure by:

Maybe this is a stupid question: Indoors or out?

MJ's WR, much higher quality video here:

Kingston, Jamaica. I'm assuming it's outdoors.

The race is outdoors.

I say he breaks 45 while jogging for the last 50 meters.

45.61

44 flat looking smooth.

Suuuuuuure. I bet he runs 45.xx...exact predication 45.63

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.

43.88

Oh hell yeah, just look at body type. Then look at times.

45.87

I'll say 45.13.

He's ran better than that already. I think he'll hit low 45 but I don't think he has it in him to go faster than 44.50.
