American sprint legend Michael Johnson believes Jamaican sprint sensation Usain Bolt should consider moving up to 400m after an impressive relay display last month.
Bolt clocked a 43.58-second split in a 4×400 relay at the Gibson Relay meet in Jamaica 10 days ago.
American Johnson’s world record from a standing start is 43.18 sec and his best split time in a relay – from a rolling start – was 42.94.
“He has the ability to be a world record holder. If it were me, I would move to the 400 now,” said Johnson.
“It’s not surprising to me. He understands, though, that it will take a lot more work training for the 400 than for the 100 and 200.

Michael Johnson,in encouraging Usain to stick around running 4 a long time yet and to do the full lap(400 metres), might like to open the conversation with Bolt: “Say,how bout that Tyson Gay breaking 45 seconds;the strength in depth of the man”.
Discourage Usain Bolt from running the 2 lap event(800metres)
