¶2012 OG: w100–Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (Jam) 10.75

[jamal00005]

does anyone have any idea of how the semis may be lined up ?

[running4life]

Go VCB

I was waiting on you son and know that we asre her 2 biggest fans

I was so worried about my baby girl, she jogged a 10.94 and seems as tho she was ready to run some more.I can't stop smiling.It looks as tho she lost weight which I am happy about.

[MightyBurner]

Allyson easily won her heat with an abysmal start. Shut up.

[j-a-m]

does anyone have any idea of how the semis may be lined up ?

Three fastest heat winners in different semis, next three fastest heat winners in different semis, slowest heat winner and two fastest 2nd place finishers in different semis, and so on.

[Gabriella]

VCB, SAFP, Jeter, Okagbare, Madison, Felix, KAB...they all looked great. Jeter just looked so powerful and obviously wanted to have a good run out, but she can knock a tenth of that time. VCB looked controlled but I dont see a 10.7 from her, unless she gets a great start. SAFP just jogged it.
I think it will be SAFP, Jeter, VCB then Okagbare in the final

[j-a-m]

What time is gonna be needed to make the final, if conditions are the same? 10.95?

[running4life]

did vcb had work done to her face? She looked mad different these days.Very good looking gal

[toyracer]

Why on earth before the heats camera shows only 3 "favorites" based on season best!!! Not even for second other runners. It's so painful!

Which coverage are you watching?

Semi 1: Jeter v VCB
Potential spoiler: Hackett, Jones-Farette, Povh

Semi 2: Baptist v SAFP v Felix
Potential spoiler: Lalova

Semi 3: Stewart v Madison v Ahoure v Okagbare
Potential spoiler: Soumare, Sailer

A couple 10.8's me think....

[j-a-m]

Semi 1 probably strongest in terms of top 2 in that race, but semi 3 probably strongest in terms of top 4 in there.

[running4life]

did vcb had work done to her face? She looked mad different these days.Very good looking gal

Oh come on she just put on a little make up for the occasion LOL .well i need to call in on sportsmax and tell wavel he was right about VCB, she seems to have lost some weight and she looks alot better with her drive phase and stuff .Exellent overall stuff from my girl

Oh ok is that what it really is? She looks so different with makeup on.I am glad she loss all that weight because it was holding her back. I hope she takes it easy in the semis with Jeter tomorrow and go all out in the finals.I love what I am seeing from her so far.What a diffrence two weeks makes.

I'm the opposite, I want her to really challenge Jeter, maybe even take her to guarantee a good middle lane in the final. I think being outside hindered her in Daegu and being in it might have got her closer to Jeter there.

As for her face, she looks the same to me as she always has! Doesn't seem the type to go under the knife for anything other than athletic injury related grounds!

[t_monk]

Funny..... RoFl!!!!

Journalist : "Is the track fast?"

Shelly-Ann: "I don't know I haven't tested it yet, I will tell you after the semi-final."

At this stage my girl VCB knows that she has to take it out fast to get one of the better lanes in the finals .

Shelly will no doubt will test the track in her semi .As will Jeter (who tested it already)and VCB .
VCB has to be careful tho, we dont want what happened in daegu happen here with lane draw

[LukeyD]

Remind me of the process for selection of lanes for the finals please anyone

[t_monk]

Remind me of the process for selection of lanes for the finals please anyone

Heat winners + fastest 2nd place finisher are randomly placed in the middle lanes (in this case 4, 5, 6, 7)
the other two second place finishers are randomly placed in the outer lanes (in this case lanes 8 and 9)
the two fastest losers are randomly placed in the inside lanes (in this case lanes 2 and 3)

[uakari]

i wish i could watch all the heats... they are not on nbc.com?????

Well VCB certainly needs to be in the middle

Did someone forgot to tell Tiana Madison she is in front of a worldwide audience of a billion + viewers and you should present your best? She had no makeup on and a gazillion zits on her face. Oouch

Haha didn't even notice but I noticed that Ahoure looked ridiculous.

I completely agree Ahoure looks a complete mess LOL at least she brought her shit on the track

why are you bitches so mean? i don't see you talking about what fat slobs the men shotputters are...

Why on earth before the heats camera shows only 3 "favorites" based on season best!!! Not even for second other runners. It's so painful!

Which coverage are you watching?

I'm watching German, Serbian and Moroccan and of course Eurosport coverage (satellite rules )
but in every sprint heat it's the same, Thanks to TV director in London we only see two or three favourites (plus German coverage as always focusing extra on their athletes). It was same during morning session in 100 and 400m. It was hard to see for example Amy Mbacke Thiam since she is not in great form and she was also skipped.
I think they will certainly show every runner from semifinal but this is scandalous!

That happens only during sprint heats, LUCKILY it is good in middle- and long distance so far.
