AXUM 255 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 how do u compare him to Michael johnson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 IMO he's a great, like Ali was to boxing, seeing him leave a track smoking then all the bit he does for the camera afterwards is brilliant. Not only is he made to sprint but he's made for TV and the limelight. He's a sporting legend IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird 10,014 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 how do u compare him to Michael johnson he is better as he does 100 + 200 , michael johnson only done the 200 . Bolt is the best sprinter in the world right now, and will stay that way for quite a while. Even johnson said he as never seen anyone in Bolts class before, i think alot as to do with Bolt size he is 6ft 5 in 210lb , he as long legs so got massive stride. When you think about you dont see any sprinters as tall as him, he is definitely differnt in size to all the other sprinters , with that and his natural talent best in the world Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Love Usain Bolt.. Also like Blake, he's a wee tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,960 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 He's bloody fast over sprint distances, no doubting that. But I am always left feeling a little dissapointed with him as an athlete. His attitude to his training and racing is very amusing and loveable but equally I just expect more. He has this amazing natural tallent yet admits to not training that hard and only being 85% fit. He always starts to pull up when he knows he has won. Why not train for the 400 as well which has been mentioned before but requires a more technical run and a fair bit more training. The man really has the potential to leave an untouchable legacy but he's happy just being untouchable in the present. Again, he's a incredible athlete and a very loveable chap, I would just love to see him have the dedication and desire that is seen in an underdog. Just my thoughts.

With Blake hot on his heels it may just be the kick up the ass he needs to push it to that next level? I think he needs a serious challenge to push him to his absolute best.

I hope so, It would be a crying shame if he never really pushed 110%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 31,602 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) he is better as he does 100 + 200 , michael johnson only done the 200 . Bolt is the best sprinter in the world right now, and will stay that way for quite a while. Even johnson said he as never seen anyone in Bolts class before, i think alot as to do with Bolt size he is 6ft 5 in 210lb , he as long legs so got massive stride. When you think about you dont see any sprinters as tall as him, he is definitely differnt in size to all the other sprinters , with that and his natural talent best in the world Michael Johnson was more known for the 400m than the 200m.................if im not wrong he still holds the world 400m record of 43.18............think he held world records at both at one time...................... If i had to choose id rate Johnson above Bolt at this moment....Johnson did it over years,for me he was a very unique athlete....how a man could cover the ground so quick with that upright style i,ll never know........i found his style and ability fascinating to watch......Bolt is an amazing athlete.....but his gifted physical tools give him a huge head start....not just his size but his basic bone and joint strength....very often those very lean type athletes dont have sufficient strength to take the force being put through the body......but Bolt has it all....................still for me though i rate Michael Johnson the greatest track sprinter ive ever seen.......especially the 400m being " the man killer ".
