Usain Bolt: My 100m World Record Will Be the Hardest to Break
)
Speaking in a previous interview, the fastest man alive, Usain Bolt, admitted that the 100m world record might be the last to be broken.
Usain Bolt revealed that the 100m is shorter and more technical, and a slight mistake might heavily cost an athlete, as compared to the 200m, which gives more room for an athlete to make corrections before finishing the race.
"I really don't know, I think the 100m's going to be harder (to break) because it's quicker, and if you make a mistake during the race, you're not going to get it. It's a lot more technical, so I think maybe the 100m's going to go last," Usain Bolt said.
