Olympic legend Carl Lewis recently expressed his doubts about the ability of Usain Bolt to win another medal in the 100-meter dash. A Jamaican sprinter and a five-time World and three-time Olympic gold medalist, Bolt, holds the world record and Olympic record holder in the 100 meters, the 200 meters, and the 4×100 meters relay (along with his teammates).
It is hard to stay at that level for a long period of time and people will try to beat the champion, Lewis said.
From CA.sport.yahoo.com:
Lewis is the only man in Olympic history to repeat as gold medalist in the 100, but even that achievement is somewhat skewed. Lewis won the 100 as part of his epic four-gold performance in 1984 and then finished as runner-up in 1988, but he was retroactively awarded the gold medal when champion Ben Johnson tested positive for an anabolic steroid. No man has ever repeated as Olympic champion in the 200.
It would be a difficult road ahead of Bolt during the London Olympics, Lewis added.
In the Jamaican Olympic Trials, Bolt has been beaten in the 100 and 200 by Yohan Blake, a friend and fellow countryman.
The 100-meter field is very open, with worthy contenders such as Blake and Justin Gatlin poised to challenge Bolt, Lewis added.
