Usain Bolt was so unstoppable in his prime that he even took on the 300m world record

Usain Bolt's records in men's sprinting might not be beaten for decades to come.

Seldom in sporting history has one athlete come along and commanded their field of expertise with such dominance that their achievements might feasibly never be topped in a lifetime.

The Jamaican icon proudly holds the title as the fastest man in his history with his world records of 9.58 and 19.19 seconds in the 100 and 200 metres respectively seeming all but unbeatable.

Throw in the 4x100m-relay world record of 36.84 set with the Jamaican team at the 2012 Olympics and it's fair to say that Bolt's place in sprinting history is assured forever.

However, Bolt didn't want his record-breaking career to end with that hat-trick of feats because the track and field legend also took on some unofficial records during his time between the white lines.

In fact, Bolt holds the record for the fastest time to cover 150 metres in what might be the fastest race in history despite it not being a distance that's contested at major competitions.

And Bolt even went one step further in 2010 when he attempted to become the quickest male in history over 300 metres despite typically only contesting shorter distances at the peak of his powers.

However, with the Olympic legend having a strong background in 400m-running during his younger years, there was quiet optimism that Bolt could break the world best held by Michael Johnson.

Former 200m and 400m world-record holder Johnson posted a scintillating time of 30.85 seconds in 2000 for the fastest 300m sprint in history, albeit one that had the benefit of altitude.

So, would a prime Bolt who broke the 100m and 200m world records less than a year before be able to add yet another sprinting world record to his
