They are talking about it, wonder who would win? Think I'd go for Farah....

If they organised a similar race between you and horseplayer, reckon he'd do you by the length of the straight.

Think we should have a thread about Leeds Utd FC.

That's a sad sad story.

Mo at a canter.  Would take him at 500.

Doesn't aerobic respiration take over at about 200m, so Bolt could last it out over 400m, but wouldn't have a shot at 600m?

John Ridgeon reckons it would be close over 550m, but after that it would be Farah.

600m is an unfair distance to suggest - Bolt fades when he does 400m.

Rudisha for me.

Can Rdigeon get any more camp?

Rudisha would beat both of them by some distance over 600m.  Rudisha v Farah at 1200m would be interesting (still go with Rudisha).

Haha, possibly not as camp as the current 110m hurdler Andy Turner.

Pretty sure Rudisha would have Bolt's number over 400m too.

There's a thread on that (as this race was mooted before the Farah v Bolt one).  http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=61063.0

At the moment Rudisha has a better PB, but Bolt has spoken about running the 400m seriously at some point, and to do so he'd have to take seconds off his PB - which would take it well beyond Rudisha's 400m best.

If Bolt trains for the 400m, he comfortably beats Rudisha (imo).

This 500m is close. 550 too tough to call.
