I know these questions come up all the time. But in Bolt's current shape, 20.20/46.37, do you think he is capable of breaking 1:55. I really don't think he can, because he was struggling with his 46, and I just don't believe that he can move up.
Thoughts?
No thoughts
Of course he could. No one that runs 46 isn't capable of going out in around 54 and coming back SLOW in a 61. Go home kid.
Who cares - worst thread ever.

There's no "of course" about it. His endurance is so poor that 1:55 might be out of the question. Look what Wariner just ran and he's much more endurance trained than Bolt.
1:55?! Is this a joke? We are talking about the best runner in the world.
Have you seen video of him running a 46 400? His mechanics, unsurprisingly, are beautiful. A 57 400 for him is jogging.
If we are talking about gun-to-his head sort of motivation, he could hold 57.5 400 pace for about 3 laps before his body failed.
