Has anyone noticed how Bailey was looking to Asafa in the final meters?

[EZSum]

If that reaction time is right Blake should be comfortably sub 10 very soon.

lol nm

[The Atheist]

Wow, with a 0.16 reaction time Blake would have won the race in 9.95! Outstanding run for Blake! I can't wait to see what he does in the finals!!!

[Sportsfanx1]

Could this be the meet where Blake go sub 10. Just hope he run hard and focus on his own race.


I missed the heats, and I was hoping to see how they all look, but can't cry over spill milk.


The final should be cracking!! Going out on the limb and pick Asafa, even though I didn't see the way he ran in the heat.

This Asafa 50 th sub -10 clocking.

what happen to the women's heat did they ran that yet?

[justblaze1011]

Padgett had a 0.12 reaction and he only ran 10.08. So I guess in the finals, he's gonna run 9.7 with the same reaction time.

Yeah, I thought he was being foolish. Safa ignored him, and barring problems will make him pay.

The final should be fun...and fast!

[The Atheist]

I think Gay should beat Safa pretty easily in the finals, but we'll see.

I'm just curious to see what Blake does most of all though. 10.05 off of a 0.26 reaction time!!! Damn!!!! .26 reaction time, LOL!!!! That's a good tenth of a second slower than he can do out of the blocks! He has the potential to drop a sicko time if he wakes the hell up!

[guruof track]

I think Blake will run 10.1x in the finals. People put to much stock into things that athletes have little or no control over. SOmetimes we should just enjoy a performance for what it is.

Maybe thats to much to ask though.

I think the point is that we know that Blake has the potential to be running sub 10 right now, without any technical or physical improvements, and that's pretty exciting when you're talking about a teenager.
