Apparently the greatest short sprinter of all-time is preparing for one final year of competition.

Anyone think he still has any rocket fuel left in the tank? He’s 33 now and has been plagued with injury over the past 5 years. He’s show flashes of briliance every now and then but not enough to make it through the rigorous Olympic Trials format and the rounds of the Olympics.
Carl Lewis had a similar end to his sprinting career. He was plaqued with inconsistency and injuries at the end but had it not been for the heat in Atlanta I do think he could have made the 96 sprint team. Does Mo have a shot?
