Can you imagine if he'd listened?While the Jamaica n showed talent across these distances, the young star was desperate to give the 100m a go, despite the advice he was given.
Despite the short build-up, Bolt produced one of the most astonishing performances in the history of track and field - andBolt started putting in the work for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games immediately, hitting the weights to increase his explosiveness and power. Bolt trailed slightly behind his competitors as the race got underway, but he had surged ahead by the 50-metre mark.
Upon closer inspection, it was realised that Bolt had pulled off his stunning run with his shoelaces untied. It became clear his raw speed and power could not be hindered by anything.Bolt took his foot off the gas and celebrated his 100m final victory before he'd even crossed the lineSome criticised Bolt for his early celebration and apparent nonchalant attitude towards the race, but the Jamaican star insisted he was just delighted with his performance.
