Stockholm w 100

[jeremyp]

Also let's not forget that Felix has been futzing around with the 100 all season, and has yet to really turn her attention to the 200, and when she did in Sheffiled -in lousy conditions - she beat Edwards..again. I just think that Felix has the 200 nailed, and Edwards is a step behind. Although frankly Kurt, wherever you are, I am sweating our bet. :wink:

Anyone else having a hard time deciding who they would pull for between Sanya and Felix? :?

Well, Felix already has one global gold on her resume and Sanya doesn't.

I think Felix's accomplishments and current speed at the distance bode really well for her to win but I will be pulling for Sanya of course (hook em horns !!!). I will be happy if they both medal.

They're both awesome, and right now the world has turned upside down, cuz I believe Sanya is clearly faster over 100 [since she's training more for the short sprints, one would hope] and Felix is just gettting going in the 400.

[Alan Shank]

so sanya & felix have virtually identical 100 ability & sanya has far superior 400 endurance

Still think so?

Which one is really gearing her training MORE towards being a 200 runner in Osaka? Why is Richards running slower than usual over 400, and much quicker than ever over 100? Never underestimate what Mr. Kersee can pull off.....VBH, anyone? Never underestimate Clyde Hart either. This is shaping up to be the mother of all coaching battles.

Wondering where this moves Richards and Felix to on the 100-200-400 combination list?

Jon's posted it somewhere check out the 400m thread.

It's something like Allyson to 19th and Sanya to 13th.

[Jon]

From the 400m thread:

With times of 11.01/22.11/49.70, Felix scores a combined total of 3629 on the IAAF scoring tables - good enough to move up from 20th to 17th on the combination sprinters list, just ahead of Kathy Cook.

But Sanya - with times of 11.05/22.17/48.70 and a score of 3652 - leap-frogs over Felix from 19th into 11th, equal with Grace Jackson.

jonno

just speculating - i think sanya will go <22 in osaka, maybe even 21.90 - 21.95 there

where woud that put her on the list ?

[Jon]

It would put her into 9th, just behind Privalova and ahead of Ottey.
