Adam Gemili believes it is virtually impossible to break Usain Bolt's record anytime soon but outlined what ought to be met before achieving it.
Great Britain sprinter Adam Gemili has set three conditions that Olympic champion Noah Lyles and his Jamaican rival Kishane Thompson must meet before they can dream of breaking Usain Bolt's 100m record.
The debate on who can break Bolt's 9.58 seconds 15-year-old record that was set in the 2009 World Championships continues to dominate headlines.

'I don't make enough money...'- Olympic champion Noah Lyles opens up about practical difficulties of managing fame
Paris Olympic champion Noah Lyles explains the challenges of handling fame and battling mental issues at the same time.
The 30-year-old who has competed in three Olympic Games and has seen first hand how fast Lyles is, listed three things that need to happen for Bolt's records to be in danger.
The 2014 200m European champion told TalkSport: "People don't realise how fast it really is and these are the top one percent of guys in the world. For them to even get close to that record, they'd have to run the perfect race with the perfect conditions and be as fresh as possible."

'I bawled my eyes out' - Sha'Carri Richardson's rival Julien Alfred reveals simmering emotions after life-long career achievement
Julien Alfred upset a quality field in the 100m Olympic finals but her glory was even sweeter after flowing down favorite Sha'Carri Richardson in Paris.
Gemili maintained that it took Bolt, who is a three-time Olympic champion both in 100m and 200m, hardwork and determination to achieve his feat. While he said it is possible to break the records, he reiterated that Bolt's time are insane and it will take something special to hit such dizzying heights.
"Usain did it after four rounds of the 100 and he came back and ran the world record in the 200 after another four rounds of the 200. I don't think people realise how insane those times from Usain are and how really hard they are to get close to. But Noah, he can get close to it. Kishane Thompson, the Jamaican, also. He's run really well."
