Place your bet and percentages.

Bolt: 100/200

Veronica 100/200

Jeter 100/200

Allyson 400/200

On the sprint side, obviously Bolt for the men. Women's side VCB, especially if Jeter has a start in the 100 like she did last weekend.

Mo no go in 5.

AF - one, not both
CJ - one, not both
VCB - one, not both
VC - one, not both
MD - one, not both

Bolt - oh yeahhhhhhh!

1. Walter Dix (though I do believe that Asafa will likely win the 100 if he's separated by a lane or two from Bolt).

2. Carmelita Jeter

Re: Who will most likely win the double in Daegu?

Even though Asafa has been really good so far while Bolt hasn't been very Boltish, I still think Usain wins the 100 and 200, and I think he'll do it easily. Until Powell comes thru in the clutch and runs a full 100m (no more of this I'm not gonna win so I'll shut it down w/ 20m to go crap), I'm gonna pick him to finish 3rd at best.

I like Jeter to double as well.

Re: Who will most likely win the double in Daegu?

As I said, if Asafa doesnt look any other sprinters in the eye, gets away Bolt, appreciates that Tyson is hurt and maybe wears shades to the meet and looks only at the lines in the heats and final while visualizing a win...

He'll take the gold.

You know how Tiger curves his hat before he putts? And Wariner wears shades even at night.

Sports are about focus and some folk need help blurring what their peripheral allows. See no fans and manage your social phobias. AP clearly has trouble managing his.

Well he double bronzed in Beijing and is a big meet kind of guy although injuries havent allowed him to show it.

I think Bolt is conceding a bit to AP although he would never say it. If AP implodes cause Dix gets out...

Walter is the most confident man in the field. Including Bolt.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ran 9.7/19.6 in Daegu.

Hahaha well Dix will benefit from folks cancelling each other out. If Bolt gets AP trying to dance like him during the intro and AP nervously complies...

Let Dix get inside in lane 3 or 4 in the final of the deuce watch little man climb the medal stand.

I see nothing to suggest that Jeter has the remotest chance of winning (maybe even medaling) in the 200.

Monaco proved she has just as good a shot at silver as anyone.

People with awesome 100 stats are ALWAYS a threat to get the 200 right every now and then. Jeter could indeed win the 200 . . . but she could also finish back of the pack.

I agree with GH here.

Jeter has ZERO chance of wining the 200m in Daegu. If she is lucky, there is a remote chance she might get a bronze medal to add to the bronze she will get in the 100m.
