In the heats/semis in Tokyo, if they get caught sleeping at 250-300 and have to do hard all out sprints to the finish just to qualify through, that wont bode will if they they get to the final and are against women who evenly distributed their effort across the 3 rounds.

Rough n ready analysis, courtesy of the fabulous Pierre-Jean on Twitter:
50m Splits
6.8 12.00 17.3 22.67
6.8 5.2 5.3 5.4
"5.4 last 50m (even losing balance)was outstanding. At 2015 WCh Schippers and Thompson covered the last 50m in 5.46 & 5.54.."
So yes, a 10.7 second 100m. Lets see them* race more on the international circuit, and then which event they* enter in Tokyo. But at the moment, if they do run the 400m, they are going to be the wildcards (they wont factor at 200m with that start, you cant run every round flat out like that)
*when I say them and they, I mean both young Namibian sprinters, obviously.

And even at thoes Namibian Champs, they both ran super slow in the heats (56 and 57) then dropped to the 49 second runs, which is strange in the sense of they may just not know how to run rounds properly.
