Why was Shawn Crawford in the B 100m in Rome?

[jammin]

IHe has been running good all season long. He should have been in the A race and his time of 10.01 proves that.

I think that was a slap in his face to place him in the B race.

Overreact much?

Winner of the B race gets paind more than 3rd place in th e A race. Sure er money.

hmm not sure about that. The final standings combine results from both heats, so whether you run that time in the A or B race doesn't matter, as far as classification is concerned.

he looks like an anorexic, drought-afflicted, tsetse fly buggered equus quagga, rather than the equus Secretariat he waz in '04

Is that supposed to be funny?

[eldrick]

no

lamentation...

[tandfman]

The serious answer to the subject question may be that he had not run faster than 10.15 since Oslo in early June.

Could be, but that makes no sense as wind speed are very different!!!!

The races are run far apart.

Could be, tht that does not make much sense.

The races have very differnt wind speeds and are run at significantly different times.
