1) yes, 2) no -
Re: Is Mo Greene Back for good?
Maurice and his coach, John Smith, have said that the 100 is the priority at the trials. If they feel confident after the 100 is finished, then the 200 is a possibility. No promises, though.Comment

Yes, he's back for good. I expect that he will still be at the top of the world rankings 50 years from now.Comment

Re: Is Mo Greene Back for good?
Define "for good." I wouldn't see much point in competing past Athens. Given his past injury problems, he would probably be well-advised to get his last bit of glory and get out while the getting is good."Run fast and keep turning left."Comment

Re: Is Mo Greene Back for good?
Honestly,
A very nice surprise to see Mo is really back
to his top level!!!
GATLIN who is to my opinion among the three best
sprinters in the World can witness to this...Comment

Re: Is Mo Greene Back for good?
Sure he looks good, but he still has to face the triple threat from the Caribbean of Darrel Brown, Asafa Powell and world champ Kim Collins. Until then .............Comment

Let me see, you've got a partial JC education, have studied nothing but sprinting for the last decade, you're still close to the fastest man on the planet and you're pulling down a couple of hundred grand a year. Sure, I'd walk away from that to pursue a career in uh.... err.... uh......
Not saying Mo isn't a bright guy who can't make something of himself in the "real world," but why walk away from a real job? As an anaolgy, what would you think if somebody said to you, "Lee, your writing skills are only 95% of what they were 10 years ago; you better get out while the getting is good."?
This is a job these people have; not a game.Comment

Re: Is Mo Greene Back for good?
Rob, Mo GREENE is not Steve WILLIAMS...
I wouldn't be so pessimistic about the best all-
time sprinter (with Bob HAYES).
Let's just wish him not to be injured, to show
us he is still the Number One...Comment

Re: Is Mo Greene Back for good?
Rob, I've seen Mo several times live in the past month and several times on TV; he's getting better with each race. Seeing him on TV last night at Stanford convinced me he is absolutely a real threat for Gold in Athens, he ran an almost flawless race. I understand your point regarding history and the potential of injury but he has a way better chance than zero. I can't wait for the trials.Comment

I

why not wait until he loses a race before espousing this view... or even until he doesnt win by a large margin.
it seems strange to assume someone will get injured... stop playing voodoo chieftain!Comment
