Bolt Considering Trying a Real Running Event

Having blown away the world in the 100m and 200m, Usain Bolt has expressed interest in moving up to the 400m. His body type is actually more typical of a 400m runner and he’s got the mechanics to probably do pretty well (he’s almost certainly a sub-45 second runner right now). But will a life-long short sprinter be able to do the training required to succeed (and for Bolt, success means setting a world record, or at least winning a world championship) in the grueling 400m? That, my friends, is question only a pole vaulter can answer.

Nice to see a commentary on track and field from a track and field expert!
