Don't be surprised if Gay does Not make

[Historian]

the 100m finals. I believe that if he does so, he will do it struggling. I don't think he is physically and mentally at his peak after that injury. Regardless though, if he makes the finals, don't look for him to medal.

My bet for the gold is on Powell.

Fully agree with you! If this was a single 100-meter final, I definitely would not write off Tyson Gay. However, with his physical (and yes, mental) state, those rounds are going to help to almost destroy him, to a great extent.

Because of those rounds, I, too, would be surprised to see Gay medal this year. I expect to see him in the finals (failing to make the finals would definitely shock me!), but I would be surprised if he got even a bronze.

Another sprinter who I don't expect great things from is Francis Obikwelu. In fact, even he realizes that he's probably just about reached the end of his career.

Up to a week ago, I was feeling certain that Bolt would give us a repeat of Carl Lewis in 1984. However, Powell and his coach are sounding really confident this time around (in fact, some might say unusually confident)! This alone seems to make sense for me to quickly drift back into Powell's camp (wagonist? Maybe ).
