Usain Bolt - How low can he go?

The man is a phenomenon.

It's hard to say how long it will be before someone else with his talent, stature and power will come along and break his world records.

I remember thinking that nobody would ever beat Michael Johnson's 200m WR at the time, but they did...

How low can Usain Bolt go for 200m in the World Athletics Final? 18.99, 18.98......?

Baldy's Take On It:

18.99 has got to be the target, but is he ready to do that yet? No.

Will he get there next year? Depends on whether the recent success, fame and money affects his motivation to train - World Records don't just happen, they require total and utter dedication.

I'd like to say yes, but Baldy says no.

UPDATE - 19.68s to equal the Championship record...not as fast as he used to be in his younger days!
