It&#8217;s going to be a really exciting race,&#8221; said Greene, who won 100m gold in Sydney 12 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to tell you right now, he can&#8217;t do that (set a new World record).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I look at people. I analyze their races. He hasn&#8217;t shown to me to be in that type of shape that he was in 2008,&#8221; Greene said.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;If he is in that kind of shape, he&#8217;s going to win. I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s in that kind of shape. He&#8217;s having problems from zero to 65 (metres). From there to the finish, that&#8217;s just him. You have to be with him at 70.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Following the Beijing Olympics, Bolt further lowered both records to 9.58m and 19.19m respectively, at the World Championships in Berlin a year later.<\/p>\n<p>His attempt to defend both titles at last year&#8217;s showpiece in Daegu was met with disappointment, however, as he false started in the 100m to suffer disqualification.<\/p>\n<p>He eventually won the 200 metres in a time of 19.40 seconds. Greene warned, however, that following Bolt&#8217;s disqualification, the 25-year-old would be anxious to prove his quality.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has done it before, so you have to prepare accordingly. If you want the gold, you have to be prepared to go to that area,&#8221; the American said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Usain is talking about his legacy. He wants to prove he should have won when he was knocked out. I don&#8217;t think he would have won. I know when someone has something to prove, he is dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eugene (Oregon): Former Olympic sprint champion Maurice Greene has dismissed the notion that Jamaican Usain Bolt can rescale the lofty heights of 2008 when he established two mind-boggling World records in the 100 and 200 metres.
