And at the rate you guys respond to 100 threads, maybe a brand new one for the final!!!

[JWiz]

C'mon Frater. You can do it!!

[TrainerPhil]

Frater is likely gonna have to fight Chambers and Thompson for that spot, and I don't see that happening. Chambers looks as strong as he was before the doping suspension and I like what I see from Thompson.

You think it's going to take a sub 10 run just to make the finals?

Frankly, Thompson didn't look too great and Chambers was pretty much flat out.

Gay - Powell - Frater Edwards or Chambers.

There is a possibility that Gay could get hurt, but that will remain the case throughout these champs. He seems almost AFRAID to push out of the blocks.

Might wanna look at that video again. Thompson was cruising in that race. Thompson is a lock for the final....

Edwards is apparently dealing with an injury after the last race. So he might not be in the mix.

Mr. "3a", I don't believe Mr. Gay will be explosive out of the blocks until absolutely necessary. He'd be best served to pick that battle with his groin very wisely.

[ATK]

Marc Burns, Dwain Chambers, and Edwards will be eliminated.

Thompson was easily cruising in the quarters and will do the same here.

[JROCK]

After the Quarter Finals 9.95,Asafa and Mo Green are tied on 52 a piece sub tens

So it will be broken in the semi.53 COMING UP 8-) 8-)

[toyracer]

C'mon Frater. You can do it!!

I agree, I think he can do it. Go Michael, bring the intensity we saw at trials.

Frater will step it up,watch and see. 8-) 8-)

[Marlow]

It sure looks like the seeding is predictive - the middle four lanes of each semi look good.

[thurl112]

i still have gay with the upset...i think that the big 3 are all going under 9.8x.
