(wind 0.0m per sec.)

10.07sec winning time for 100meters. That might have been the slowest ever 100m final of Olympic or world champs leval since 1980, when Alan Wells won Oly final in 10.21 (in cold moscow at that.)
Wonder why the times were down so much? 0.0m wind accounted for it is still slow compared to other finals. I think bernard williams ran faster in the semi. Perhaps becuase there were so many guys in with a chance that some of these guys were running pretty hard in the semi finals, even quarter finals. But none of them looked good, right from the begining. Starnge.
Kim Collins got a great pickup and whilst in lane one, none of the other runners knew what he was doing untill about the finish line.
Dwains first 30 was not so good and he was to tight over the last part of the race. Darrel Brown ran brilliantly and we could have had an 18year old world champion.
I’m looking forward to the 200m final. Darren campbell has proved he is in shape cuase of his 100m bronze, plus I wanna see this usain bolt guy.
Ofcourse they gotta go against Kenderis and it should make for a great final.

When are the 200’s? I thought the race was awesome :slight_smile:
