Actually, Allyson DOES work on her start, starting in early January. But the thing is, she’s a “hardgainer” type. She seems to like the gym work better than the track work–but she can’t put an ounce of mass on. I don’t think it’s Bobby; It’s the type of athlete Allyson is. She’s never going to be a great starter. But that semi heat could be great material for Charlie’s next video–everything NOT to do in the blocks.
And LKH, I’ll admit I didn’t think Crawford had it in him still. His early season 100m runs didn’t look promising. He’s got a good chance of picking up a Bronze behind the two favourites at this point.
I don’t think Gay is doing the 200 in Berlin. But the thing with Shawn’s early 100’s is the LONG to short thing. They hadn’t started what they call speedwork (I think that’s in the 60-120m range) until early June, and Shawn ran 10.07w I think in the 100 semi or final.
