You should make these posts in the “News” or “Off-Topic” sub-forums.
That was dumb. You just get beat and now you want more than the world champion?
Gay is only running the 4x100 in Zurich now.
i guess atkins will be winning the 100m
100,000 was the going rate for Mo a few yrs ago but Mo was many ties WC and Ol winner and the meets are clearly going downhill each year. I posted on this a while back. The Zurich total budget is a fraction of it’s former self and the promoted idea of 'exciting duals" is exactly what Zurich NEVER did in the past- they got everybody good in every event on offer, guaranteeing fantastic results. That’s why they were the greatest. It’s a shame.
Based on the close proximity of the meet this year to the WCs, I suspect Tyson would not have wanted a tough 100m and the fee reflected a relay appearance.
I also suspect the trashing of Asafa may come back to haunt them if and when he gets his training in order. (Yes, I’ll have that chart out shortly!)
Sorry Charlie, when you say a chart, you mean one specific to Asafa as you see it??
@ Charlie
what do you mean with this?

I wonder why tyson isn’t running a 100… he’s still sore, or he could felt a bit cheated by the organisation
Atkins ain’t running either…
Going through his competition schedules for the last few years. stay tuned.
Never mind…
I wonder if They will run in the world athletics final against each other
I would have thought they must face each other again this year!
tyson gay already signed the contract for zurich before he won the world championship,beat asafa powell and having the title as world fastest man, I am sure he would asked for more if he knew everything would go so smoothly
If results in Zurich keep going like tonight, there won’t be more money
What’s with all the ~.2 reaction times for the short sprints?
I Wonder Who Will Be The Favorite In The 100m Now That Powell,gay And Atkins Won’t Be Competing
obikwelu;)
DO YOU KNOW WHO ELSE WILL BE COMPETING
THANKS I LIKE FASUBA TO WIN
