Bolt shun 400m.

Bolt boude le 400m


Usain Bolt said he had no desire to spend the 400 for now. The Jamaican world champion and Olympic 100m and 200m, is preparing to launch its 2010 season May 19 in Daegu, South Korea and does not want to hear about the 400 ... But more length.

 Usain Bolt, the undisputed king of sprint since 2008, did not want to spend the 400, at least for now. Voices have been raised for the Jamaican, who has covered Olympic gold in 2008 and 2009 World Championships in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100 meters and holds world records in the distance, now tries at 400 m. "I will not go further than the 200 " he warned at a press conference by telephone from Philadelphia. Why? "The training is much harder than for the 200 m. I do not feel ready."
His rival Tyson Gay has just completed a 400 m under 45 seconds for the first time in his career (44.89 Saturday in Gainesville, Florida) to become the first sprinter in history to run the 100m under 10 seconds, the 200m in 20 sec and lap under 45 seconds. But that does not move Bolt: "I was surprised, yes. I congratulate him. But no, it does not motivate me more to make the 400" (Laughs). The idea of leaving an indelible mark in the history of athletics could however be more effective: "People want me to do the 400m, I do not want. But if we go through this to become a sporting legend, I suppose I should do it."

Not the 400m, but o es the length:
"The only proof I think try is the jump length. But at the end of my career," said the young man of 23 years. Without expect phenomenal time this season, the first man to run the 100m in under 9.60 seconds (9.58) keeps an eye on the next level: "Everything is possible. The record will stop at 9.4. I have already said: I hope I'll be the one who will reach. "The Flash", his nickname, is aligned on Saturday the Penn's 4x100m relays "To see where he is." He will run the last leg for one of two teams of Jamaica, particularly against the United States. Asafa Powell, who was the last runner of the other team from Jamaica, does not eventually take part in the race officially for a problem with a tendon.
In the absence of any major competition this year, Bolt has now planned to take part in meetings of the League of Shanghai Diamond (May 23), New York (June 12), Paris (July 16) and Brussels ( August 27). The Diamond League is the new 14-step system developed by the International Federation (IAAF) to replace the Golden League. After the Penn relays, Bolt will run his first 200m of the season on May 1 at Kingston, before moving to Daegu for the first 100 meters in 2010.
At another press conference Friday in Philadelphia, Jamaica's no secret that he would not try to do too much in this year of transition for the World Championships in Daegu-2011-2010 and the Olympics in London . "We will not try to do something special this year"Has he said. We try to do just enough to keep the tempo and leave as little energy as possible. For next year we will be very serious. Next year, it will not be the same. "
