I hope he doesnt get hurt by why isnt he running in marquee events instead of road races at nonstandard distances for money?
Do you believe this helps him focus/prepare on the task at hand...Berlin?The fool has said...there is no God. Psa 14

He is already scheduled to run in Toronto on June 11, JA champs next, he is scheduled to run in London , Paris, Zurich, Brussels, Lausanne etc.
Plenty of opportunities to showcase his talent and run against the best(sorry, I meant the rest of the competition).
The negativity against Bolt by some posters here(they shall remain namelessis unbelievable.
The man decides to schedule one "road race" this season and some folks seem to have an issue with it.
Get real folks. Every athlete "runs" for money, fame and glory. and that is how they put food on their table. Why would he turn down a six figure payday if he is healthy in order to jog a 150m race. I know I wouldn't.
Relax folksCows need love too

Why do you insist on referencing Bolt's earning power on nearly every post you make? We all know what the market will pay an athlete in his position.

Bolt is the most highly compensated track athlete ever(in terms of current earning power on the circuit) in the history of the sport and we should all thank him for taking track out of the doldrums with his great performances in Beijing.
I am sure some folks here are "praying" for something to happen to Bolt so that their own favorite athlete will prevail in Berlin. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen.Cows need love too

I must admit i like these sort of events - long and middle distance runners have Road and Cross Country and I doubt that any but the most ardent purist track fan would think them "gimmicky" - it's just racing in a different venue, and given the amount of virtual ink used in trying to come up with means to promote our sport then I am suprised to see events like this being denigrated to some degree.
Having said that, the injury factor is an ever present one, probably heightened on a temporary surface, but haven't our top sprinters shown it is easy to get injured in any case?

Now if they had Bolt and co. running after a London bus I might call it more tacky. First one to get on board wins the prize?
I like the mile races that some cities put on too.
