Kingston: Usain Bolt is disappointed with how Jamaican’s men sprinting developed since he retired and predicted compatriot would find it difficult in Tokyo after his noble dominance of the last three Olympics.
With bolts that lead with his own immeasurable style, Jamaica won all the nine finals of the men’s sprint track in Beijing, London and Rio – even though they then lost their 4x100m gold medal after Nesta Carter failed.
While Jamaican women look very strong into their Tokyo campaign, Triple 100M and 200m Olympic Champion Bolt think the men will fight.
“Well, it’s really disappointing to see this,” Bolt told Reuters.
“I feel like having a harvest (male) athlete who is good for some of the last Olympics, so for me, it really bothered me to know that this is where we are now, where most of the world is in front of us.” So Going to those people, it would be difficult …
I was just disappointed because I thought we had talent, it was only to harvest it and people to take the practice seriously and finish it.
“The bolt isn’t just.” Inspired by the Jamaican Olympics but Also the monopoly of their Sprint World title from 2009 to 2015, the training partner Yohan Blake stepped to claim 100 M gold in 2011 when Bolt was disqualified.
Blake now is a standard Jamaican carrier in male sprints but it is necessary to increase massively in the season – best 9.95 seconds to even challenge medals at 100m in Tokyo.
Ato Boldon, who won four Sprint medals for Trinidad & Tobago at two Olympics, agreed with Bolt’s analysis of Jamaica.
“This happens to be a little hunger now, I know Blake said he didn’t leave Tokyo without a medal but I didn’t have Blake Medalling,” Boldon, now a TV expert, told Reuters.
“At least Jamaica has several prospects on the horizon, but I did not see medals for Jamaica at 100, 200 or 400 men in Tokyo.” M.
Dominicethe The main beneficiary of Jamaican’s deterioration, Boldon thought, would become the United States, which was dominant in length of Sprint Olympics roughly disturbed when Bolt crashed into his long steps in Beijing.
Americans have not won the 100M Olympic degree since 2004 but Trayvon Bromell’s national champion leads the world this year with a run of 9.77 seconds.
Only Simbine will be South Africa, the best run this season is 9.84 seconds, seen in a position to stop American sweep with Ronnie Baker (9.85) and Fred Kerley (9.86) also in a strong form.
“I think Americans are able to take two of the three medals in Tokyo,” Boldon added.
“I have (Ronnie) and Trayvon Bromell on the podium at the two points.” It’s been a long time since the US at the top of the podium at the Olympics, long enough, so it would be a return.
For them for what they usually do.
“American men also see to dominate 200m.
Noah Lyles, 2019 world champion, lead the world by running 19.74 seconds which won the US trial last month.
Kenny Bednarek, who has put career – the best 19.78, and world record holders Under 20 years just printed with 19.84, will join Lyles on the US team.
Bolt has held a record under 20 years since 2004 and chooses Knighton as one of the young people to watch in Tokyo and so on.
“Players The 17-year-old really made me impressed in the US trial, so let’s look at the near future what he would do, “Bolt said.
