Bolt should look at the 400m: Johnson

KINGSTON - Olympic and world sprint champion Usain Bolt should seriously consider running the 400m, Michael Johnson said.

KINGSTON - Olympic and world sprint champion Usain Bolt should seriously consider running the 400m, Michael Johnson said.

Johnson, the former 200m and current 400m world record holder, arrived in Kingston on Monday to attend Bolt's charity event to be held on Saturday.

He told reporters the 400m would give Jamaican Bolt a new challenge.

"He will have to find a new challenge and I think the 400 will be a new challenge for him in a couple of years," Johnson said.

"There is no one that can beat him (in the sprints) at this point, so where does the motivation come from?" - Reuters
