So what would be an acceptable performance if he does end up second to Bolt? Like if Bolt runs a 9.6x or 9.70 and Asafa pulls off a low 9.7 does that still mean he didn’t perform on the day? Or since no one as of yet has run an off the wall time this year (since 9.78 is no longer off the wall :p) is simply beating Bolt considered acceptable? Say Bolt runs a 9.87 and Asafa runs 9.85 is that still a good thing?
I guess I’m curious what you folks give more weight, a world leading time or a world beating final placement?
