Two years ago a bet between a coach and his athlete had resulted in arguably the most miraculous feat in the world of athletics sprinting.
Usain Bolt was challenged to break the Jamaica 200 metres record for the reward of permission to compete in the 100 metres.
The “100” happens to be the most prestigious event in the sport. Any youngster who aspires to become an athletics star wants to be the 100 metres star and Bolt was no different. But he was already an established 200-metre world contender and all along Coach Mills never thought that his decision to give Bolt the freedom to match strides with the super fast in the track and field world, would amount to anything other than give his charge, speed work for his specialty event.
