ATHLETICS officials will consider the unthinkable at the 2012 London Olympics: changing the program to enable Usain Bolt to chase the 100m, 200m and 400m treble.
No athlete has achieved the feat at a single Games, with timetable clashes between the 200m and 400m making it virtually impossible.
"If Usain continues to do amazing things, is super motivated, we'd be insane not to consider it," IAAF spokesman Nick Davies said yesterday.
"To win all three sounds incredible.
"He might not like the 400m and he reiterated . . . this week that he does want to defend his Olympic 100m and 200m titles. But it's more interesting for Bolt because everyone thought he would develop as a 400m runner."
