Noah Lyles is being pushed as the new face of sprinting, and he may get there, but to put it in perspective Bolt had already put down a 9.58 and a 19.19 at the same age as Lyles. So unless he's somehow gonna shave .5 off his 200m time I think Bolt will remain king in the 200. Coles may be a better candidate over the 100, with his remarkably quick start. Still though he hasn't beaten Bolts 40m split yet either. I really enjoy these two young sprinters but damn I wish Bolt could have run forever

Bolt was a master of running a race riddled with mistakes and still coming out the victor. Bro there are some videos in which he tells to look to your side and see if anyone is close to you. (as his tips) He had a horrible start,(I have a theory that it was on purpose after his DQ in WC 2011) , looked two or three times in between races, never leaned (and if he did it was before the finish line) and celebrated before the race was even won. In Rio he literally looked back and smiled! And nevertheless this great man's records are unparalleled and no one has even come a shade close to his records. The only exception is Blake in the 200 m above.

For all those who compare Blake and Gay, I agree they're both marvelous runners in their own right. However let's play with some numbers: Blake and Gay are both the 2nd fastest in the 100 m at 9.69 seconds. That pace for the 200 m would be a 19.38. Blake has not only kept this pace but has bettered it with a 19.26. Gay however only managed a 19.58. No disrespect it's a mighty good time- it's Maurice Greene's 100 WR pace - but it doesn't even touch a 19.26.
