So, can he? I can certainly see a 9.65 in his future, but breaking Bolt's WR (assuming Bolt hasn't lowered it further)? That's a 'fer piece'.
My take on the matter is that now that Bolt has nuked the record, other sprinters must set their sights considerably higher (well, actually . . . lower). The 9.80 dam is broken and now so is the 9.70 and 9.60 (I'm still a little boggled by that). Others will follow. Not right away, but sooner than we would have imagined 3 years ago.
Tyson has an unreal turnover and if he can get his legs a little stronger (hit that weight room!), he'll have a farther pushoff, i.e., stride length, and that will get him faster.
As usual, I'm skeptical, but I'll keep an open mind, wish him well, and keep my fingers crossed that he stays healthy.
"But I know I can run a lot faster - I've been saying that since day one. I really believe 9.5 seconds is possible. I know it sounds strange for a guy who's best is 9.7 to say that but I honestly believe it - it's been one of my goals since I started running."
