Pognon, Burns and many of them have had ordinary seasons. Maybe 4 years ago it would have been more salivating.

I agree, but....

I agree with you, Mosiah, but nevertheless you have to admit that the other heats (except for Heat 5) have less impressive/strong sprinters .

Several good guys are going to be left out of the semis and so no chance at the finals, which they might otherwise maybe have made.

true!
