Exactly! And prooves my point about how fast Ben could have gone if he hadn’t shut down like he did. I’m certain he would have gone 9.73to 9.72 then and I was criticized heavily for saying so…and with a faster surface??? Maybe a bit more.
But now with 9.58, that ship has sailed! I’m still not entirely convinced that this track is the best ever for the 100m but the additional resiliance may alter the relationship between 100 and 200 more in Bolt’s favour for the longer sprint and it leaves more in the 100 for next year.
I hope he doesn’t go for the 400 next year because the record is so inferior to either the 100 or 200 that it doesn’t seem to matter.
We already know MJ could have killed it if he hadn’t been injured in 1996. Changing his training now might make it hard to get back to where he is now and he might need to break 40sec to go where he will be by the end of this week in the 200!
