This hasn’t been discussed yet. Edwards’ form to me is simply awesome. Relaxation, linear arm action. Any thoughts on that? Campbell is looking a bit more erratic, but she came through from a bad start in her semi there, just looks strong to me. Predictions for the final in a couple of hours?
I agree. Again look at how reaction times can be misleading. Though Campbell had the 2nd best RT, block clearance and initial acceleration phase appeared sluggish. Certainly SE doesn’t seem to be her deficiency at the moment.
Yes. Edwards looks great and very lastic. i’m sure JS has her prepared optimally and I suspect that will make the difference.
I’m guessing it’s easier to prepare an athlete when you’re not behind bars! I think that makes Gay’s performances this year that much more impressive!
What’s the deal with Braumann anyway? How long is he in jail for?
I believe he is out in the next couple of days. I’m sure his release date is during the champs. See what his athletes can do when he’s actually there! Will Drummond still have some involvement? Has he solely been working with Gay or the whole group? I would say Spearmon needs that help more than anyone!!!
Wow. Did you see that 100. Big shock. i though Williams got her shoulder in but it’s Campbell I think. Surprise overall
Amazing race! I thought Williams won (shoulder). Guess it helps to have bigger breasts :rolleyes:
Yes, no kidding! (Might have been the number making the rack stand out more) I was really shocked to see how Williams pulled it together in the final- Jeter too. Perhaps torri was drained from the heats. Haven’t seen the reaction times yet
Just saw the R/Ts Torri’s R/T was actually good but didn’t get going.
The photo finish from IAAF:

i think I’d protest based on what I can see (the IAAF guys have a huge screen to blow it up on) But the shoulder counts and it still looks like Williams won.
I would have given it to williams for her shoulder, but I have to admit I’m not 100% certain as to what counts as “trunk”. also, where does the shoulder end and begin??

Don’t know how they separated that!! Did Edwards panic also? There were no head on shots of her to see how she looked. Williams was awesome in comparison to yesterday, a different athlete it looked like. I thought Arron was gonna get that after about 30 metres, but it seems her last 40 are not what they used to be. This puts Campbell in a good frame of mind for the 200, but can she beat a fresh Felix or Richards??
Great race…was shocked Torri didnt win. When she didnt start to move away from the crowd I said Lauren’s got this…I would have appealed! I thought Lauren won it, but they always seem to give it to the person who’s coming through fastest/stronger. Do they use the camera on the other side also to judge the finishing position? From the cam on the right, it would look like Campbell won…but it could be a different story from the left cam… Big improvement for Jetta! I love them US women!
From the camera above i thought it looked like Lauren.
