Cool Running Bolt Breaks Another Record |
Published on 25 Aug 2009.
With Usain Bolt breaking more records than a disgruntled customer in an HMV store, Paddy Power is betting at 1/4 that his 4 x 100m Jamaican team will ‘Bolt’ their way into the history books and win the Gold this evening.
Bolt smashed the 200m World Record last night in spectacular form, yet, according to the sprinter, he felt tired and wasn’t running well, so there could be a little more in the tank for the fastest human in the world to break his own records between now and the 2012 Olympics in London.
Paddy Power is betting at 1/8 that he’ll break his own 100m record before the next Olympic Games and 1/6 that he’ll do the same with his 200m record.
He’s back on the track tonight attempting to win another Gold medal with the Jamaica 4 x 100m team, and Paddy Power are betting that they will win as the 1/4 favourites, but the bookie is also betting on the team to be disqualified for a false start, dropping the baton or running in another teams lane, at 3/1.
With Usain considering a move up to the 400m’s, Paddy Power is betting at 11/8 to break the men’s 400m World Record before 2012.
In other betting Paddy Power is supplying odds of 100/1 for Usain Bolt to take a leaf out of the Cool Runnings film and represent his country in the Winter Olympics as part of their bobsleigh team. This betting is not specific to next year’s winter Olympics in Vancouver that already has a number of Jamaicans taking part.
Cool Runnings was based on the 1992 Jamaican Bobsleigh team that took part in the Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.
Paddy Power said; ‘Bolt looks like the only person that will be able to beat his own record, the manner in which he beat the rest of the field last night was astonishing. Maybe when he’s hung up his spikes he might take on the Winter Olympics and try to break a few records there too.’
