If you gave Bolt all that training and a week to do all 10 events, sure.
Frankly, I'd even say that for any great NBA, NFL, MLB player with a background in track and field. But over two or three days (if he gets lucky and there's a rain delay washing out a day of competition,) no way Usain Bolt puts together 10 events within 2000 or 3000 points of Ashton Eaton. |
