Someone is …NOT in the race? Hm? I hope he is being rested.

Who is someone? Powell and Gay are going to Gateshead. Powell is in the 1 vs. cupcakes. Gay is in the 2 with Spearmon.

Powell is still pissed since Zurich screwed him around last year and bad-mouthed him. He said then that he wouldn’t go back to Zurich.

Fair enough.

Warm conditions, a 1m/s+ tail wind and significant $$$$, and the record may go again…

Yes, this is where Powell resets the WR…again…in an unknown place vs. no namers. Yep…do it Powell!

It wouldn’t surprise me. I hope he PRs. I like to support forgotten souls in athletics. First it’s Asafa Asafa Asafa then he has 1 bad race in the Olympic final now no one talks about him.

That’s what the brutha does. Folds under pressure. Without pressure, he’s one of the best. We all saw the anchor leg he ran. When he runs as a team, it seems like he has no pressure on him. Effortless.
