Bolt had the fastest PB for the 400m @ 45.28, but Rudisha has now run a PB of 45.15 - bettering Bolt's PB.
The question is how much faster can they both run the 400m if they concentrate on it. Maybe a race for them to have after the world championships when they've done their normal events and can focus on the 400m. Bolt has spoken in the past about seriously focusing on the 400m in order to challenge the current world record. Tyson Gay has run the 400m faster than both of them in 44.89.
Bolt's PB is currently way behind the world record by Michael Johnson of 43.18. So if Bolt thinks he's capable of challenging that, then he should be able to beat Rudisha in a proper 400m race, if they've both been able to train properly for it.
