No, that was pre meet, hoping we could get bolt on last lap. We can run with them until last lap, if we had Bolt and meritt was in regular good shape which I was hoping for then we possibly had a chance, but meritt is in superb, imperial style form, cannot really challenge that at this time.

Seven to win it all with this combination.

Took Athletics Weekly and altered a bit.

Jamaica must step up to win championship in areas of historic underachievement even though we have shown the capability in glimpses to do it. Bolt must be added to 4*400 men's to be able to achieve this mountaintop, cannot be conventional.
Safp must win one and two and women's 4*4 must finally step up, the talent is there to beat a somewhat depleted USA with mcp and other girls in excellent form it is time to step up and make a race of it.

Winning those takes us to seven gold and I changed some of the overly confident USA wins predicted by Athletics weekly. Outside chance of eight if Us messes up 4*1 women.

Final gold standing
Jam - 7
Rus - 6
Eth - 5
USA - 4
