Hearing on BBC Powell is struggling with a hip, thigh and back injury in warm up!!! Also, apparently Stephen Francis struggled to get accreditation to get in??? Watch this space…
Never a surprise to hear of accreditation problems for coaches or therapists- officials look after their own asses only.
Would be a shame if Asafa really has problems. It’s been spotty for him this year- but we’ll see what’s up in two hours.
BTW, the track sounds fast if the Hep 100h are an example:
1:Jessica Innes GBR PB 12.97
2:Kluft PB 13.15
3:Kelly Southerton GBR PB 13.21
wind 0.10
Good stuff!
the wind in that heat was only +0.1. It switched round in the second heat to -0.8. Not too sure about the readings in the rest of the heat. But the surface seems like it’s living upto expectations!! Hope to see Powell there, that’s all I can say, as he will quickly become branded a grand prix performer as opposed to a championship performer
They just showed Powell warming up, so guess he’s racing!
the rumours are out and i think he’ll pull out from the championships soon.hope i’m wrong
hope you’re wrong too. feel like we’ve been robbed!
Looks like Tyson Gay is playing it cool- second in 10.19 in H1. anyone see it?
Yea he didn’t run hard. Neither did Ashahara giving about last 7 steps easy.
yeah a stroll for gay,asahara ran great with a 10.15.fashuba finishing 4th
