YOU said “Being not very confident person when it comes to the big meets and with huge expectations of the whole world Asafa painted himself into a mental corner and could not get out of it”.
I don’t buy the theory of Asafa beeing mentally weak.
In circuit, i mean meetings + championships + media and business.
Nobody disputes the fact that Asafa is able to run 9.89, he did 9.82 his his last pre-Games race and 9.87 (under the rain) in his first post-Games race. The point that you miss is that Asafa was not able to run 9.89 on the fourth race in 2 days (after heats and quarter on day 1 and semi and final on day 2). Such tournament requires specific training and tactic that Asafa hasn’t put together so far. You will argue that he ran only 10.02 on day one. But his 60m intermediate time was 6.35, that’s sub 9.80 pace! Asafa can run it every week-end in-season, but not twice in 2 days. The relay was some 5-6 days later.
Second point you miss is that confidence comes from preparation. Asafa didn’t lost in Beijing because he is not a championship guy (you imply that he will never be in saying “he can not, and I repeat CAN NOT run major final successfully”), he lost because he was not prepared adequately.
Maybe you can scroll up yourself and dig up the conflicted quotes reported by the media. He was supposed to work with a psychologist after Osaka. Whether he did or not, the result was the same.
