ATHLETICS - Track legend Michael Johnson has said that current world sprint king Usain Bolt should take up the 400 metres. Johnson was speaking ahead of a charity event he is attending that is being hosted by Usain Bolt in Jamaica. Johnson said: "There is no-one that can beat him [over sprint distances], so where does his motivation come from? He will have to find a new challenge and I think the 400m will be a new challeneg for him in a couple of years."Usain Bolt may well take up Michael Johnson's suggestion and run the 400 meters in the future, but in the short term he has his charity event to be concerned with. The charity event being hosted by Bolt, the '9.58 Superparty', is in part helping to raise funds to support projects in Bolt's local community in Sherwood, Jamaica. In particular, Bolt is trying to raise money to buy the rented land that the Sherwood medical centre is built upon in order to safeguard the medical centre's future.
