Athletics: Sprint rivals hoping Bolt will slow down
The world record holder clocked an unimpressive 10.04sec in Ostrava last week but still managed to win the race, in which current world bronze medallist Kim Collins finished just behind him.
“It’s very complicated, someone was saying to me that in order to beat Bolt I’ll have to run 9.5sec,” said Collins, the 2003 world 100m champion who is now a veteran on the circuit at the age of 36.
“What I explained is that to beat Bolt he has to just go slower than me. If he goes 9.5sec that day I can’t catch him, I can’t run 9.5sec, that’s not on my plate. When Bolt runs slow one day, I can beat him.”
