Dude is a beast, I'm sure he's not done, and he's damn hilarious.
He may well break 19 seconds for the 200 meters. His WR currently is 19.19. I mean, the guy runs a 19.3-something and eases up in the last 20 meters.

There's also talk of him moving up to the 400 meters and probably becoming the first man to ever hold the WR in all 3 sprints.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
