There will never be another Bolt, but Norman’s range, his size, his stride length, looks the next best thing. Noah Lyles (USA)The reigning world champion over 200m, Lyles is also damn good over 100m and has a personal best of 9.86 seconds. Andre De Grasse (Canada)A bronze medallist behind Bolt over 100m at the Rio Olympics, and runner-up to him over 200m, De Grasse is another whose progress stalled through injury in the years that followed. But an Achilles injury at the 2016 Olympics and multiple surgeries soon saw his career hanging by a thread. Bromell eventually found his way back and clocked 9.90 for 100m last year, and a 6.48 60m last month suggests he’ll be right there when it matters in Tokyo.
