It was round one. That’s more like 10.22 with no wind.

Probably a jog for 1st round. Look forward to seeing if he can get all the way back. Would becool to see a Bolt, Gay, Powell and Gatlin final someday.

that’s fire

His Twitter claims he jogged it. We shall see in the final!

He is likely going to run 9.90’s. Anything faster would be icing on the cake.

That is barely faster than his semi-final time when you look at wind, but that is pretty good. Look at what Asafa was running at the start of 2009.

I was close! Wind was slightly negative. Good for him, hopefully there is some video later on.

There was online streaming of the meet, so I imagine it will turn up. I didn’t feel like installing M$ Silverlight, so I didn’t watch it :).

Awww crap! Who was streaming it? I wish I asked.

Wow, I figured he would go a little faster. I am sure he is happy to just run competitively again.

Wow… Not bad for his first race… He is going to be under the microscope… for the rest of his career…

Weak considering less wind and he jogged or “only ran half” of the prelims.

You think? He’s not going to be 9.77 ever again but 4 years out and comes back and runs 10.24… It’s respectable time…

I doubt he jogged 10.34 he’s not at that point right now and I doubt he ever will be able to “jog” 10.34 anytime soone. I’d be SHOCKED if he can get below 10 this season.

Well Drob trains “for fun” and ran about that time.

Well, Jmee got second in 10"31…has a SB of 10"19…so, after some races, he could hit 10 flat probably…not so bad…

Gatlin was all over his lane. Samuels gave him a good run, Justin certainly didn’t jog the final!
