Not sure what is going on with Marcel Jacobs  at the moment, was just shockingly bad in  this evening.

Question: guys, do you think the WR’s of 100m and 200m can be beaten? If yes which of them will be beaten first do you think? I’m talking about Bolt’s records. I’m thankful for any answer. 

[JoshMartini007 2,763]

100m will be beaten first. I still argue that Bolt was a better 200m runner. 

[NearPup 3,486]

I agree with Josh that the 100m is the "easier" world record of the two.

 

I assume the 100m WR will beaten within the next two decades or so. It's very impressive but I still get the nagging feeling that we never quite saw Bolt's best possible time, which would mean that, for sure, a human *can* go faster.
