WORLD’S fastest man Usain Bolt is four races away from achieving a half-century of sub-10 clockings.Bolt, the world record holder over both the 100 and 200 metres, has achieved the feat 44 times, despite being hampered by injuries in recent years.
The sprint star, however, cannot compete with compatriot, Asafa Powell, who tops the category, achieving the feat 93 times.
In the 200m event Bolt has broken 20 seconds a bit less regularly, achieving the feat some 31 times.
At this rate, Bolt could be on target to get to 50 sub-10 100 metres by next season, an Olympic year, which has already seen the sprinter begin his preparations.
Bolt will attempt to be the first sprinter to win three consecutive Olympic titles and is expected to rekindle his rivalry with American sprinter Justin Gatlin.
Gatlin, the fastest man over the 100m distance, last season has dipped below the 10-second barrier 46 times and will also be looking to get to the 50-mark next season.
Second on the all-time list is another American, Maurice Green, who has achieved the mark some 53 times. (Sportsmax.com)
