Usain Bolt Great Manchester 150 meter Video

May 16, 2009 By Jimson Lee 2 Comments

The Great Manchester 150 is run on a specially built tartan track in the city center of Manchester.

British sprinters Mark Lewis-Francis and Simeon Williamson will also be in the field,

I’ll bet he plans to watch his favorite football (soccer) team, Manchester United, play at Old Trafford after the race!

Just to put this in perspective:

The unofficial “world best” is Italy’s Olympic 200m champion Pietro Mennea in 1983 in 14.8sec.

In 1997, Donovan Bailey ran 14.99 on an indoor 150m track at the Skydome, Toronto, Canada.
