Jamaica have become a world super power in athletics. How does such a small country achieve that?

If Bolt and Bekele (10000m winner) were to run against each other, over which distance would be it the closest ?*
*Doesn't have to be an olympic medal distance nearest 100m will do, relatively speaking as i know the smart answer is like less than 1m.
1000m i think |

1000m i think You reckon? I think Bekele would murder him at the 800m. Bekele's PB for the 1,500m is about the same as the best time run for the 1500m in 2008. That makes him a fairly rapid 1,500m runner. I doubt he's a slouch at the 800m either. |

hypothetical question
Could Bolt step up to 400m? and if so get the WR there?
I know he likely wouldn't step up, but he could right, and be a real threat?

bolt could easily step up. he's a 200m runner who went down to the 100m it might be diff if he was a 100m runner who'd already moved up |

Yes, I think Bolt could be very good at the 400m.

I think in the build up to the 200m final his father mentioned in an interview that Bolt used to run the 200m and 400m as a youngster.

iirc he did it in a roundabout way. think he said he used to run 200 and 400 as a kid but not as fast as his son did |

Bolt has said though that "400m is too far to run fast man, people should only walk that far...or get a taxi" |
