I just finished rewatching German's HS double

(thanks guys).
I know this is a bit oranges to apples but... it begs the question at least to me.
Is German (4:00/8:34 solo efforts same meet) more of a phenom then Bolt was as an under 19 year old (20.61/47.12 same meet or 19.93)?
If not what times would German have to of put up to match Bolt's early times.
On an international level, Bolt's 200 times are far superior. The sub 20 is competitve at the Olympic level. German would have had to run sub 8:10 or sub 3:50/3:33 to match sub 20 for 200.

He is truely amazing. I am not a sprinter but I love watching him run. It is one of the most beautiful things to watch.
The guy looks like he is out for a sunday stroll running 20 flat.
