Its very rare I watch a video and someone actually looks fast. Like you said it looked like her next 40 could have been something special as well. I will be shocked if she doesnt run in the 10.8x at least. 7 flat and sub 7 with splashes of 7 lows shows consistent starting ability this girl is gonna be something.
What Madison does well is hold her form from 60-100m, she looked great in london. Ahoure's form slipped a little in Istanbul when VCB got along side her and just pipped her for the win in what was a great race. If Ahoure can stay calm in the final part of her race then I think 10.8 is hers.
Don't be too sure about that...a couple years ago, Leverne Jones Ferrett was burning up the track and where is she now?
She's a mother of one who returned to run 7.05 (2nd best time) 11.07 PB, 22.62 (5th best) last year...but I know where you're going. We'll just have to wait and see how she goes outdoors.
Laverne Jones Ferrett is an anomaly. If someone has a 6.97 and a 51.47 I would not only expect 10.8x but sub 22.
As for Ahoure her start is even sharper this year than it was last year. She looked strong right up until the line as well. Last year was her break out year for the most part and i think her and her coach are probably working on the weak spots from last year. If she can hold her form outdoors should should duplicate Tianna Madison's olympic year and be a strong medal contender.

But she does not really have a 6.97 in many people's assessment.

There have been a few indoor speedsters over that years that have not been able to tranfer that speed outdoors.

S-AF-P also has a bye for the 100m, as the reigning DL champion. She will most likely run only the 200m at trials.

And VCB has one for the 200m! Everyone has it easy this year!
"Back-to-back Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce continues to show improvement in the 60 metres after winning at the XL Galan meet in Stockholm, Sweden, yesterday with her third consecutive personal best. Fraser-Pryce, who is attempting the indoor circuit for the first time in her career, made an impressive debut last week at the British Athletics Grand Prix meet in Birmingham, winning her heat in 7.18 seconds before finishing second in the final with a time of 7.09 seconds. The diminutive Jamaican continued her hot streak, winning ahead of Ukrainian Mariya Ryemyen, 7.18, and Myriam Soumaré (France), 7.22, with a 7.04 seconds run - her fastest time over the distance so far, after three starts."
