Anyone else picking winners from the heats?

16

Maybe Bolt will ease through and Phiri can pick up a 1-0 record with Bolt. :slight_smile: However, I doubt it.

17

Good luck G-Force!!

18

Will be watching you as well. Looking forward to seeing your fast work throughout the weekend!

By the way, did you remain with Coaches Henry & Anderson during the summer? If so, would you say that Beard is ready for the 400?

19

J-Mee Samuels SR Arkansas 10.43

If I remember correctly, J-Mee ran around the same time at the age of 15. What’s going on with him, anyone knows?

20

Phiri is through in 2nd in 10.30 behind Bolt.

21

Gerald, I’m wondering if you might share your experience of running in the lane next to Bolt, even if it wasn’t fully out. Congratulations on making it through to the semi-finals of the world championships.
