[notorious]

Should be a great track meet.

[notorious]

Late word is that Bolt could possibly run the 200m today in addition to the 4 x 100m.

[DentyCracker]

A little birdie called me to tell me that yesterday. Also expect something special from either Bolt or Blake

[J2thaD]

Be interesting to see if Powell gives it a decent run, being that there is no one in the race that will make him give up and throttle it down at the 150 mark.

[reggaemon]

Anyone knows is this meet will be streamed live on the internet and if so the link for it?

[chuku69]

Wow Racers 37.86!!! Bolt and Asafa I heard was on anchor.

How was the relay of Bolt??'

[t_monk]

http://meets.net76.net/2012/utechclassic/index.htm

[notorious]

Heard that Bolt anchored for Racers and Asafa anchored for MVP. No contest based on the times.

[t_monk]

How was the relay of Bolt??'

Looks good on anchor....
Got the baton first, took a while to get into his race (Asafa gained on him a bit in the first portions of anchor) and then after that started really turning on the after burners and left everyone in his dust the last 30 m.

[rainy.here]

Holy crap was I wrong.. That's disgusting.

Especially in what appears to be bad weather.

So all of Bolt's doubters about him possibly having an injury should all relax now .

[ZELLGADISS]

In youtube the race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQEne2ea2bA

Bolt looks great in his relay WOW.
I heard that if Bolt has good feeling, perhaps he will run later 200m, umm would be wonderful

[Letlôtse]

There's some serious rain down there.

[notorious]

Sherone Simpson looks like she picked up a cramp in the womens 400m. She stopped running at 350m.

She ran the 4 x 100m earlier in the day.

[chuku69]

Holy crap was I wrong.. That's disgusting.

Told u they would win hands down. They have the 2 fastest man in the world now. I think Powell should not run the 200m in this weather. Can't wait for JA Invitational in 3 weeks. More fireworks!!!!

If USA wants any chance to win the 4x100, they'll put their best three runners on the first three legs.

What difference would it make? USA should put together the best team they can, and hope JAM screws up.

Come on now. We all know if JA gets the stick around it won't be close. Please break the usa record of 37.40 before u talk abt chance against a JA 4x100m team who has the 3 fastest relays of all time!! smh

The only way Jamaica loses the mens 4 x 100m is if we drop the baton. Its the only way.

An injury, or 3 bad exchanges could also do it.

[JumboElliott]

A single poor exchange could do it..

[chuku69]

Bolt and Blake are already in tremendous form!! This confirms my suspicion. I saw Powell in New York and his start is not on point. Even in his 2012 races so far, his start is not is usual best. Hopefully he get it together for trials. I want all these 3 to qualify @ trials.

[notorious]

Blake blazes a 9.90 in the mens 100m.

[DentyCracker]

Blake blazes a 9.90 in the mens 100m.

Yohan Blake 9.90
Jacques Harvey 10.10
Sheldon Mitchell 10.18
Oshane Bailey 10.18

Blake has added a start it seems

[ZELLGADISS]

Anybody know the wind for the 9.90 Blake???
