Does anybody think that the WR is safe tonight if Gay gets good conditions? If not tonight… in Osaka…

7

The results are behind by a half hr or so. Is there a rain delay??

8

never mind! Looks like the results were just backed up for a bit and then posted

9

I didn’t think to post them right after the semis were run. Everything should be on time. Finals are at 8:50central tonight.

10

Tyson Gay 9,84 into a 0.5m headwind. 10.07 for Holiday and 10.09 for Dix.

11

Just saw that. Charlie what do you think his 9.84 is worth in ideal conditions?

Lenard scott locked up bad and faded to 7th

16

Can’t always judge from a wind reading that could be faulty- but in this case there is no doubt whatever of the strength of the result because of the massive margin of victory. A WR is just a matter of conditions and competition- with Asafa providing the second part!
