Haha, real talk though, I was competing in those events as he was already making a huge name for himself. I got to run on the same track as him at the Penn relays, not the same event, but we were in the funnel at the same time. He was huge. Head above everyone else. He was younger at the time, and the consensus was that he was simply too lazy to go the longer distance stuff. Bc even with minimal effort, his 400 times were Olympic level competitive. Or it might've been a smart cost-benefit analysis thing on his part...why push your body and potentially injure yourself when you could focus on sprints instead?
Dude isn’t stupid that’s for sure. I met one of his cousins a couple weeks ago visiting from Miami. We got along and he’s going to take me down to Jamaica to meet him in December. I race motorcycles and I respect speed so much and Bolt was always a hero of mine. Dude heard me going on about him and invited me out to Jamaica to hang out. Had no idea he was his cousin and I didn’t believe him til he pulled out the photo album lol
If he wanted to, he probably could have run the fastest 400 and fastest 800 in the world too.
I heard it’s his legs alone that power the trump train
