Keep in mind that the 100 isn't even his speciality. Michael Johnson's 19.32 in the 200 appeared untouchable back when it was set 1996 but I wouldn't be surprised to see Bolt go 19.50ish.

Tough break for Tyson Gay. Don't think you could realistically expect to be able to go sub 9.85 with even the slightest tweak in a hamstring.
i hate to say it but MJ's 200m mark is coming down. IF Bolt stays healthy AND runs Completely Through the tape.
