Re: Jamaica leads the world in the sprints in 2010

Of course he realizes that was TEAM USA's B team, we didn't have Justin Gatlin or Walter Dix on it

Would make sense if PRs made the team effective as against season's form/current form, last I checked even the WJC finalists could give Gatlin a run for his money (based on season's form). Plugging him in on that day, in that team would have offered no plus but a GAPING minus to that team (IMHO).

I don't disagree at all, I was more so anticipating the next time Jam A goes against USA A. With Gatlin running that 10.2 into a strong head wind I'm thinking by next season, we could see him running in the low 9.9s which would be a very formidable addition on 2nd leg of the 4x100 (unless we see a repeat of his performance on the relay in Athens)
