LONDON (GBR): World 400m record holder Michael Johnson believes Usain Bolt has the potential to improve on his own 100m and 200m world records. “He’s very, very young, still very, very raw, so there’s certainly still room for improvement, amazing as that may seem for somebody who is running as fast as he is,” Johnson said speaking at the launch of a partnership between the Laureus Sport for Good foundation and Connie Henry’s Track Academy in north London. Johnson also added he believed the Jamaican could break the world 400 record he set at the 1999 Seville world championships.

MADRID (ESP): Ramil Guliyev, one of Europe’s top sprinters, is set to miss this summer’s World Championships and next year’s Olympics Games in London after a nasty little tug-of-war contest has broken out between Turkey and his native Azerbaijan. Guliyev ran a European junior 200m record of 20.04, when winning at the 2009 World University Games in an Azerbaijan vest, and was also the continent’s fastest man over the distance that year. He spent several months training in Turkey last summer after signing a deal to compete for the Istanbul-based club Fenerbahce. At the end of last year Guliyev decided to fly a different flag and he became a citizen of his adopted country on April 5. Potentially, the next major championship where you could see Guliyev on his blocks will be the 2014 European Outdoor Championships.
