Thats nice for Mark. He needs to beat Mo occasionally just to keep his ego afloat. I guess the wind was blowing in the wrong direction!

3

To keep his ego afloat?

No need for that, TC… :stuck_out_tongue:

4

The wind reading was -1.6 m/s.

5

i’m sure naurice was only performing at 95% due to the conditions.injuries in such a meet would be disasterious for him.in better conditions he will whip MLF and i have no doubts about that john smith would have warned him already to play it safe!!!

6

It was reported that Greene stumbled out of the blocks and was way behind before finding his form.

This has happened two meets in a row now.

7

Too much power!!!

8

practice is great for rehearsing what you do in a meet situation.too much power!!! i hope so but highly unlikely

lets see if the same happens in the major money meets where the pressure will be far greater
