They already talking bout doing the 400 in the next Olympics and smashing the record. What do you guys think? I think that if he wants to do it he smash it next year.http://www.iaaf.org/OLY08/news/kind=100/newsid=47097.htmlBeijing, China - Note the date now – 2014: men’s 400m, Usain Bolt, 42.5.
No, not the ‘Lightening’ man’s own prediction – Bolt avoids talk of the 400 as much as possible – but as firm an answer to a journalist’s query as you’re ever likely to hear from an athletics coach.
Not just any coach, either, but Bert Cameron, the first World 400m champion from the World Championships in Helsinki back in 1983. Cameron is now Jamaica’s national 400m coach and a man who watches Bolt train virtually everyday.
How does he know the date? “He promised me,” says Cameron. “He will do it and he promised it’ll be six years from now.” And how fast will he go? “42.5,” says Cameron without the merest hesita
