Nobody is even close right now, but the potential of this guy is awesome. He has bags of strength seriously lacking in MJ's 200m speed. Johnson ran 43 alot, what a beast he was.
@jonesy77777 Cheers, yeah I was thinking that Kirani James had a Butch Reynolds type of strong finish. After the Olympics it would be good to see Bolt take up the 400m seriously and see if he can break the record.
@MITOGEN Great analysis with Butch Reynolds, however, we don't know how much of that strength was "enhanced":) their racing styles seem quite similar, except indoors. I don't think I have ever seen him give up the lead on the break in, even if he has to accelerate to get it. He needs to run the rounds a bit better and ensure he has a good lane choice and someone to chase. As a former 400m guy I am really excited about KJ. What a field with Wariner, KJ, Merritt, Gonzalez.
Tell Bolt that Kirani is ready for the challenge, in high school they called Kirani the shifter because whenever he's behind in a race he just shift to another gear and blows pass his all his opponents.
I love how Kirani always shakes hands with or hugs the other athletes after his races. He seems like a really humble guy. I can't wait to see him in the Olympics.

@loriparis25 Kirani will not win in the Olympics if Bolt run. Bolt has plans to run the 400m and the 4x400m at the 2012 Olympics.
