not sure we can follow your prediction for his progression. It is a known fact in track circles that there is no assurance that an athlete will progress after age 19, especially, if the athlete have been involved in organized training from a tender age. having said that Bolt is a freak of nature, just like Herb who you mentioned in an earlier post. They have the rare ability to post world class times in the 100, 200m 400m. That is not normal by any means and what makes it more significant is his hight. For a 6'6 guy to run well in the 100m and have such a great curve on the 200m is stunning. He has a lot to do to run a near perfect race in the 100m, but when Glenn Mills gets him right, it will be scary. I doubt he will do the double in China, but if he runs some consistent times leading up to the Olympics Mills may have no choice.

ok, ok ok, I sat down with Ato Boldon and analysed Bolt's run.
We even checked the flag fluttering in the background.
The man beat some real good sprinters and lick dem by about 6 meters...according to Ato, it looks VERY legit and the man jes run one of the greatest 100m ever.

While no none can and should vouch for any athlete, if Ato was involved his name would have been in the media already, or at least the same times as Mo Greene.

Smooth Daddy, and others. Put the hater-ade down. Slowly.
Remember, please, before any of you further embarrass yourselves:
45.35 for 400m at 16 - WTF! (while partying and clubbing like a madman)
19.75 last year - at 20!
19.93 - sub 20 while a teen - in 55 degree weather in Bermuda, chilling coming home, miles ahead
The ONLY person to give Tyson Gay a good 200m race last year - the ONLY ONE! - at 20 YEARS OF AGE!
6'6'' tall
Jamaican Genes
Come on, you still doubting/hating?
You all could have had a guy like this - he wears #81 for the New England Patriots lol poor USA you lose all your talent to big $ sports - and who can blame them lol....
Sorry guys I have all the reason to hate on this one since it makes my lifetime best look like crap but I have to jump on the bandwagon. When he backs it up all year, what are you going to say then?
Oh, and why waste time hating when you just got a man who talks much ishh and is flamboyant in the middle of the 100m mix now - no more "blah" 100m stars to bore you to death with niceties and mutual respect.
We should all be rejoicing!

Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay could meet in New York
Buzz Up PrintBy Gene Cherry
SALVO, North Carolina (Reuters) - A 100 meters showdown between Jamaican Usain Bolt and world champion Tyson Gay could take place at New York’s grand prix meeting on May 31.
Bolt, who on Saturday in Jamaica clocked 9.76 seconds for the second-fastest 100 meters ever, told Reuters on Sunday his schedule included a 100 meters race at the New York meeting.
His agent Ricky Simms was not as certain.
Simms said via e-mail that Bolt would run a 100 meters in Trinidad on May 18 and would probably compete in another race over the distance in late May or early June.
“Probably between New York, Berlin and Oslo,” Simms said.
The Golden League season opens in Berlin on June 1 with Oslo the second stop on June 6.
Gay is expected to run in New York although neither his nor Bolt’s participation has been confirmed. Gay’s agent Mark Wetmore is the New York organizer.
Gay clocked a wind-assisted 9.76 seconds in New York last year and has indicated that he wants to follow the same schedule as he did in his 2007 run-up to the 100 and 200 meters world titles.
Bolt, who finished second to Gay in last year’s world championship 200 meters, said he spoke briefly to the American after they ran separate events in Jamaica.
“He told me congratulations,” Bolt said.
“I told him I wanted to defeat him,” Bolt said. “I told him to watch out in the 200. I said I was definitely looking forward to a showdown.”

Well here is another scenario that is brewing People....I just can't wait for the olympics. That 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 mens' teams will be cracking. I am looking for Gold in the 4 x 100 and a tight gold or silver in the 4 x 400. The X factor is Mr. Warnier in the 4 x 400M. Anyway, here is a great read and looking to hear your viewpoints as they develop.
Usain unbolts Powell-Gay 100m domain
By Earl Bailey
Friday, May 09, 2008
According to coach Glen Mills, the current sprint work being done by Usain Bolt, including the race last Saturday, is preparation for the 200 metres. No problem there. However, it must be noted that scientists discovered Viagra while working on a cure for hypertension.
BOLT... being touted as potential Olympic champion
Dig this quote: "On its way to becoming Viagra, UK-92,480 changed from a drug for hypertension to a drug for angina, and then changed again when a 10-day toleration study in Wales turned up an unusual side effect."
Interestingly, Bolt started as a high jumper. The side effect being experienced by Bolt is that he is now being penned in as a potential Olympic champion in short order. And if that is not enough for the young man, some believe he has the mettle to win not one, not two, but three gold medals in 2008. Dreams, dreams, dreams.
Usually it takes a long time and the most meticulous preparation to conjure up a 'bomb'. But in a matter of only 9.76 seconds, Usain Bolt, ably guided by the experienced tutor Mills, has blown the sprint world apart. This world will never be the same again.
Overnight, the boy from Trelawny has evolved from one of the players in the game to one of the leaders of the team. In a flash, he has been transformed from a prince into a potential emperor, or perhaps more appropriately, from the ring bearer into the potential groom.
OK. So it wasn't overnight. The process has been bubbling since 2002. But bear this in mind. A major percentage of sprint champions at the youth levels fades away on passing mile post 20.
Also, how many men who run 'only' the 200 metres become poster boys for posterity? Fact is, presently, short sprinters are defined not by the speed of their 200, but by their exploits in the crown jewel of the sport, the 100 metre dash.
But what the heck is 9.76? What does this number mean? Apart from being the second fastest time ever run, consider this. It would have been the world record nine months ago were it not for Asafa Powell's 9.74.
Bolt's improvement from a nobody in the event to 10.03 to 9.76 in three races ranks alongside a black woman winning the presidency of the United States. Simply unthinkable. In my mind, this ranks just below the 29'2" jump by Bob Beamon in 1968. Hopefully Bolt will not repeat a 'Beamon' who never came close to those lofty heights afterwards.
Flojo's improvement from 10.96 to 10.49 in1988, or by .47 seconds, is well documented. Steroids and a suspect wind reading are credited.
Bolt is famous for making big improvements. He moved from 21.73secs in 2001 to 20.61secs in 2002 to 20.13secs in 2003 to 19.93secs the following year and progressed after injuries to the current 19.75secs last year.
Expect a big move in this event in a short while. He also arrived from nowhere to run 45.35 in 2003 and jogged 45.28 last year. He would now rank near the top of the most versatile sprinters (100, 200, 400) in the world, just below legends like the late Herb McKenley and Michael Johnson.
And what are the implications of 9.76 for Bolt? Firstly,the majority of the world will throw him in the 'suspect' basket. After only three races, amateur or professional, he moved from 10.03 in July 2007 to 10.03 in March, and now this 'bomb.'
Every athlete who has managed to crack the 9.80secs barrier, including our beloved Asafa, will have to live with this tag. Heck,the lot includes Ben Johnson, Tim Montgomery and Justlin Gatlin. You can't blame the police if you are under surveillance while living in their neck of the woods.
Secondly, he has stumbled on a potential gold mine. To get to the gold mine, he will have to be consistent; not running 9.76 every day, but a 'simple' sub-10 clocking will suffice.
The management teams of Powell and Tyson Gay played hide-and-seek while the world waited for ages last year. Bolt's emergence highlights a new dynamic and a meet promoters' dream. There is no place to run or hide for either of the three, and big clashes will take place with or without anyone who may want to hold out.
And if Bolt goes on to win the gold in Beijing, we could see the Olympic gold medallist, the World Champion and the World record-holder hooking up. Wow!
Thirdly, Bolt is now considered a threat to our King.This is most tricky. This is as much a mental battle as a physical war. He will have to condition himself, or be conditioned, to crush his good friend and teammate, King Asafa.
However, unlike in the past when they had to hide in the dark to assassinate Emperor Caesar, this will have to be planned and executed in broad daylight in the glare of millions.
To add to the mix, Mills and Stephen Francis are good friends and both athletes are trained locally at Stadium East - sometimes simultaneously!
Bolt's mental capacity to tackle and succeed in the big ones has never been questioned. The bigger the occasion, the bigger the man. On the other hand, Asafa still lives in a shadow of uncertainty. The match-ups could be the stuff of dreams. Of course, the intrigue is being heightened as Asafa recovers from an injury.
It's no small feat for Jamaica's track & field to have produced the two fastest men ever - at the same moment in time. And to put icing on the cake, they are guided by local coaches. Soon the world will be coming here to learn our secret - and to test our water!
Undoubtedly, Powell's exploits have forced the international spotlight on Jamaica over the past three years. However, the show has just begun. Races between the two should blow up the good side of Jamaica's image like a neutron bomb - providing Bolt shows consistency. Some men will say this ranks right up there with Viagra!
