London 2012: Usain Bolt unlikely to dominate – Carl Lewis

Chinks appeared in Bolt’s armor two weeks ago when he was beaten twice by training partner Blake at the Jamaica National Trials.

Lewis, a nine-time Olympic gold medal winner, warned about the hype surrounding Blake.

“I still don’t understand this Yohan Blake situation because one year ago I had never heard of him and now everyone is saying he is the greatest.

“But in 2004, I went through the same thing with Maurice Greene. I said then that history defines greatness. Maurice only won bronze in Athens and then disappeared. That is why I let it all take place because I know how quickly it can change.”

Lewis added that the 100m field was perhaps a lot more open than many were willing to admit. – (CMC)
